May 15, 1930 - March 7, 2025
In loving memory ~
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of my Mother, and our beloved Nonna, who passed away peacefully on March 7, 2025, surrounded by her family.
Maria immigrated to Canada in 1953 from Treviso, Italy and lived in the Vancouver/Burnaby area for many years with her husband Nerio. When Dad retired in 1995, they moved to Maple Ridge to be closer to us. Maria worked as a talented seamstress and could create and mend any type of clothing. Maria loved to knit and crocheted beautiful sweaters, afghans and tablecloths. Maria was also an incredible cook and baker, who routinely prepared authentic Italian cuisines for her family and special friends. An avid gardener, Maria would spend many long hours tending to her garden of fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs. Her catholic faith was very important to her. But most important to Maria was her family.
As per Maria's wishes, she requested a private funeral. We have honoured her request. She will be deeply missed, we think of her often, just as we do with Dad and Nonno. They are together again.
Forever in our hearts. Rest in peace.
