In loving memory of Zaira “Jada” Mary Pagnutti 94 years. It is with great sadness Jada’s family announces her passing on Monday, January 31st, 2022 at Pioneer Manor.
She was predeceased in 1995 by her husband Joseph “Joe” Pagnutti of 49 years. She will be forever missed by her children, Richard (Mary Ann), Doreen Fenton (John), Sandra Rayne (Bill), and Lori Pagnutti (J. Y. Asselin). She was very proud of her grandchildren and their accomplishments and attended many hockey, baseball, soccer games and dance recitals. Noni will be missed by Marisa Williams (Kevin), Matt Pagnutti (Jen) of Florida, Jeff Rayne, Todd Rayne (Mindy), Robb Fenton (Katee), Dillon Vaillancourt, and Connor Vaillancourt. Her legacy lives on in her great grandchildren who always brought a smile to her face, Makenna, Spencer, Delaney, Willa, Preslie, Alexa, Maddix, and Ryker.
Jada was born and raised in the West End, and remained a ‘West End-er’ all her life. She married Joe in 1946 and together they built their home on Victoria Street, where they raised their children and remained for the next 65 years. Together they inspired a strong work ethic. She was a resourceful and determined woman. She worked outside the home at Dominion Store for many years. She enjoyed, and was an accomplished bowler with the C.W.L. of St. Clement’s Church. Jada took much pleasure in gardening where she would spend hours and felt great pride in the compliments from passersby. She also took delight in cooking polenta meals and preparing for days for holiday feasts. She was a life-long member of St. Clement’s Church and Our Lady of Hope Parish.
Jada was predeceased by her parents Louis and Irma Palmaro (nee Narduzzi) and her 2 brothers and sister; Vimero Palmaro (Cecile also predeceased), Elsa Biloki (Steve also predeeased) all of California and Dino Palmaro (Mary) of Sudbury. She is survived by her sister-in-law Liz DiSalle and will be remembered by many nieces and nephews from both the Pagnutti and Palmaro families in Sudbury and California. She leaves behind her good friend Anne DiFant and holds a special fondness for Sebastien and Tomas Asselin.
The family would like to thank the staff at both Pioneer Manor and Walford Residence for their care. Donations may be made to Heart and Stroke Foundation (Sudbury) or the Maison McCullough Hospice.
