Settimia Gina Talarico

Mrs. Settimia Gina Talarico passed away in Kamloops, BC on July 1st, 2024, at the age of 85. Gina will be fondly remembered by her family as the most selfless, kind, empathetic, and giving mother/grandmother anyone could ever ask for. Her ultimate sacrifice was leaving Italy at a young age with her new husband and two very young children to seek a better life in Canada, leaving her family behind. Today our family looks to continue and pass along the same attributes that made her the person she was.

Gina will be lovingly remembered by her sons: Santo Talarico (Alana), Angelo Talarico (Susan), Mario Talarico (Debborah) and Tony Talarico (Randi); 12 grandchildren: Noel (Kristen), Ginelle (Paul), Nathan (Kyndra), Toni (Keenan), Sergio, Avary (Evan), Gina (Matt), Jasmine (James), Terrell, Carter (Brooke), Seth and Aynsley; 8 great grandchildren: Blake, Stella, Siena, Henri, Santinella, Jaxten, Jayden, and Jhett.

She was predeceased by her husband Giulio (Joe).

Funeral Mass will be held on Friday July 12th, 2024 at 11:00 am, at St. Gerard’s Parish in Ashcroft, BC with Father Udoka “Christopher” Nwosu officiating. Interment to follow at Cache Creek Cemetery.
