GEMMA FIDANZA (NÉE RAMUNNO)
1935 — 2024
Gemma Fidanza (née Ramunno), born February 22, 1935, in Celano, L’Aquila, Italy, passed away at Overlander Residential Care on September 30, 2024. She was predeceased by her parents, Antonio and Gaudenza Ramunno, her husband Pierino, her daughter Giovanna Jurista, and her brothers Pasquale, Giovanni, and Domenico.
Left to cherish her memory are her sons Domenico (Lianne), Antonio (Leslie), and Pasquale (Kathie), along with 10 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother Mario (Frances), sisters-in-law Costanza, Theresa, and Maria, and many nephews and nieces.
Gemma and Pierino left Italy in 1963 and emigrated to Canada, where they made Kamloops their home. They raised their family in the city they loved. Gemma worked at Whiteway Laundry for many years, making lifelong friends. Her wit, laughter, and singing will forever be remembered by those fortunate enough to experience them. Gemma cherished family above all else. She found joy in cooking for her loved ones, tending to her large garden (which she generously shared), and spending time with friends. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought her immense happiness.
A special thank you to Dr. Kip for your years of excellent care, and to the staff of Evergreen Overlander for the kindness and compassion you showed Gemma. We appreciate you all.
A service will be held on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, 635 Tranquille Rd, Kamloops, BC. Viewing will begin at 10:00 a.m., followed by the service at 11:00 a.m. Interment will take place at Hillside Cemetery, with a reception to follow at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church.
