Grandma doing what she did best, teaching, working and inspiring us all! She truly was an amazing wonderful soul and will be missed dearly. I’ll never forget her warm heart and unconditional love. She motivated and pushed me to be the man I am today. “Don’t warm the seat Tommy”, shed used to say to me.  Grandma, I love you with all my heart and will honor you by instilling those very same values in my kids! Rip.

Angie, John, Rosie and Anthony, 
words cannot express how Pat and I feel for the loss of your beautiful mom. Elizabeth was truly one of a kind. She was a gem and we will never forget all the good times we spent together! I still remember our first road trip to Detroit as young kids and how your mom made it so special for us! We had never been in a bungalow before and we thought it was the coolest! I can still taste her amazing pancakes! Her memories will truly live on forever. 
Elizabeth is gone from this earth, yet she will 
never be forgotten. The angels rejoice at her homecoming. 
Our sincere sympathy to all of you, our dearest cousins. Love, Maria and Pat Monardo

Angie, John ,Rosie and Anthony
Vince and I would like to express our deepest condolences to you and all your family. Your beautiful mom was one of a kind. I have so many wonderful memories of her and your family  visits to Toronto when we were all kids. I’ll never forget all the great cooking adventures we would undertake when she would come to Our house… making apple pies, my first pancakes, ravioli to name a few. She took everything on with such love and an infectious energy. She drew us all in.
Her kindness, generosity and welcoming spirit will be missed but never forgotten. Rest In Peace Elisabetta.
Cugini Vince and Raffaela DeCaria



Where do I begin?????  Zia you were the best!! Thank you for all you did for Me and  My Family!! Until we meet again Tia Amo!!!  Forever in my heart

My Zia, what fun we all had when we were little girls. You played right along with us when we were young, like you were a little girl too. I remember all the times we went to Stoney Creek, Ohio for the Blessing Mother, and we can't forget going to the Price is Right to see Bob Barker! Our family is so fortunate to have all the home movies to look back on all those precious moments together. I will always remember and treasure the fun and goofy times our families spent together throughout your lifetime. Love you forever, Rosie the Clown.

Rest In Peace Sordata ! I sure didn’t tell her nearly enough what she meant to me so sad that she is no longer with us but knowing she is reunited with family and friends definitely puts me at ease. Wonderful choice for her obituary picture it sure says it all she loved her family loved to sing but most of all loved her FRUIT lol miss you Zia until we meet again xo 

I’m going to miss my Culo Nonna
Hope she is happy in heaven with her family!
Till we meet again Zia

John, Anthony and family - so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. She was blessed to have a large and loving family and are sure she had a lot to do with how well here children grew into such solid and successful  adults. Jean and I are sorry that we cannot attend the service but please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May she Rest In Peace.

July 1978 - Meeting my dad's cousin Elisabetta for the first time on their surprise visit to Sault Ste. Marie, Canada.  This started the wonderful trips my family took to St. Claire Shores.  The hospitality Elisabeth and Jasper showed each time cannot be matched.  We will miss their welcoming arms, their stories, their laughter and their banter.  I know my  dad has already given her a big hug and can't wait to hear more stories. Brunina, Cathie, Ralph and Ben Mangiardi

July 1978 - Elisabeth, Jasper and Brunina Mangiardi at what we called the beach (really it's a lake).  Only Elisabeth and Jasper could tag team my mom to wear shorts.  I am positive she bought them at Elisabeth's urging as I don't ever recall her wearing shorts before or since.  Elisabeth is one of few people who could convince my mom to do something like that.
