August 21, 1932 – December 12, 2022
With great sadness we announce the passing of Antonia Fernanda at the age of 90 years. Born in Italy and predeceased by her mother (Anna), father (Silvio), sister (Maria), brother (Ferdinando), and daughter (Emilia), Mom is survived by daughter Pina (Sandro), son Joseph (Lucy), son-in-law Alberto and several grandchildren – Michael, Russell, Alexandra, Gianluca and Gianni – and great grandchildren – Alessandro, Melania and Antonio. Also survived by nephew Vito (Teresa), niece Nina (Barney) and many other extended family members.
Mom’s life was long but not an easy one, making her way through most of her life in solitude. Despite the trials and tribulations of a split marriage, I never recall hearing Mom say anything bad or do a bad turn to anyone. However, if Mom made her mind up about something no one, not even God, could sway her otherwise. She worked hard, was an introvert, stubborn to a fault, an amazing seamstress, cook and gardener. We know she is likely touring pastoral gardens with her beautiful Amy.
Funeral mass will be held on Friday, January 13, at 11:00 am at Our Lady of Sorrows Church at 555 Slocan Street, Vancouver, BC with entombment to follow at Ocean View Burial Park, South Mausoleum, 4000 Imperial Street, Burnaby.
Many thanks to the many care aids and nurses that took care of Mom at Royal City Manor and the recreational staff who worked hard to make a difference.
Mom would have preferred you donate to a charity that means the most to you in lieu of flowers please.
