Obituary of Matilde Brunetti
Born in Italy on May 31,1943.
Deceased in Ottawa on April 21,2022.
Wife, Mother, Nonna, Friend, Sunshine. In every sunrise, we see your light. In every sunset, we feel your embrace.
For almost 79 years Matilde (Millie) brought joy, laughter and caring to everyone she knew.
Matilde’s life was challenging in her early years, losing her parents at a young age. She knew the blessing and value of family and built her own with undying devotion, unwavering warmth and boundless love.
Companion to her beloved husband of 55 years Adriano, they shared a beautiful life together.
A constant source of love and support to her cherished children Marilena (Ken Taylor) and Michael (Julie Simpson). A Nonna that will be forever missed by her adored grandchildren Edalia (Taylor), Jordana, and Oskar (Brunetti).
She cared deeply for her relatives in Italy, whom she shared a deep, on-going, loving connection. A piece of Matilde’s heart has always been in her hometown of Oratino, Italy.
She had family and friends in Ottawa, Toronto and New York that built her extended family that she held dear and close.
She moved to New York in the mid-1960s, in her late teens, with the support of family there. She studied business and eventually moved to Canada to work in a very successful career at the Royal Bank of Canada for 35 years.
Matilde’s loss is felt in many hearts in different countries and cities. She truly made all who knew her feel a tremendous amount of love.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stoke Foundation of Ontario would be appreciated.
Masks must be worn at all times.
