We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved mother, Rita with the beautiful smile and kind soul, joined the angels peacefully on Tuesday, February 1 , 2022 at the age of 80
Rita was born on May 21, 1941 in Messina, Sicily. In 1953 her family made the decision to come to Canada. Sadly, her mother Dominica died that same year but together with her father Agatino (1974)and brother Cosimo (2006) the young family emigrated to their new home.
Rita was the loving and devoted mother of Debbie (Eugene), Joey (Vivian) and was pre deceased by her beloved son Bruno (2015). She was a proud and wonderful Nonna to her grandchildren Joshua (Megan), Ryan (Tee), Melissa (Daniel), Nathan (Mira). In 2021 she became the ‘Big Nonna ‘ (her words!) and welcomed 3 beautiful great granddaughters: Ebba, Maddie and Audrey . Rita will also be deeply missed by all her extended family here and in Montreal.
Rita was a kind, loyal and devoted friend blessed with a large group of treasured friends. She considered it a privilege and pleasure to share her life with them and was always grateful for their love, strength and support. The family would like to thank them for the constancy of their kindness and devotion, especially her partner and best friend Americo (Joe) who was by her side for the last 14 years.
Rita was known for her kindness and loving ways always there to help anyone in need. Along with her many talents, Rita was known for her cooking and loved entertaining family and friends in her home. Some of of our most cherished memories are sitting around her table enjoying amazing food with family and friends She also had a passion for gardening and loved spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Despite the many health issues she had over the past 2 years her determination and strength persevered, She was committed to living her life fully and was an inspiration in overcoming any obstacles to do so.
She filled many peoples lives with joy and laughter, she will be missed more than words can say ❤️
