She is also survived by her siblings Maria (late Sebastiano), Assunta (late Domenico)and Giuseppe (Margaret).
Ma loved to laugh , so much so that one of her uncles would give her money as a little girl for every chuckle. Ma loved her family which brought her great joy. There was no sacrifice she wouldn’t make for them. She was so proud of the journey she and our dad had taken to bring their family to this marvellous country. A farmer at heart, working in the garden was her passion. Later years included many trips with Pa. She loved the adventures, but mostly she loved the beaches and good friends in Mexico.
Ma’s legacy is her family and the ways that they will carry on the traditions of love and sacrifice she bestowed upon them. Grazie mamma!
