Gina Battaglia

Loving wife and best friend to Penny Rehl. Gina was predeceased by her parents, Antonio and Mariannina Battaglia and by her mother-in-law Margaret Rehl. Dear sister to Frances Scandinavo (the late Antonio), Connie Gullusci (the late Frank), Frank Battaglia (Marilyn), Josie Riverso (the late Vince), the late Ida Cosentino (Vince), Gabe Battaglia (Kim), Patricia Bifano (John), Mario Battaglia (Josie DiRisio), Robert Battaglia and Toni Palumbo (Frank) and sister-in-law to Bonnie Crawford, Peggy Guimond (Jack) and Shirley Wood. Gina will be dearly missed by her many nieces, nephews, extended family and many friends.

A heartfelt thank you to her dear friends, Susan Buchan and Laurie Beaupre for the continued love and support. Also, thank you to the entire staff at Juravinski Hospital and Margaret's Place in Dundas for their exceptional care for Gina and the family.

Throughout her life, Gina enjoyed playing baseball, bocce, game nights and of course cheering for her beloved Montreal Canadiens. She loved the large family gatherings and BBQs, watching deer stroll through the backyard, taking care of the family pets and sitting by a fire laughing and telling stories under the stars on a warm summer night.

She was known for her beautiful dark, curly, wavy hair and quite often had a good tan. A warm smile, contagious laugh and an incredible good heart and soul. She was very nurturing, always ready to help and had a capacity to bring happiness to others. An inspirational loving woman of beauty, knowledge, strength, courage and a willingness to fight until she could not fight no longer. We are comforted in knowing that your loving heart, gentle soul and hard-working hands are now laid to rest. Gina, you will be greatly missed and always be loved and remembered in our hearts forever.

Her family will receive friends at the Cresmount Funeral Home, 322 Fennell Ave. E. on Thursday, May 4, 2023 from 5-9 p.m. A private service will be held with her family on Friday. In lieu of flowers, donations to Margaret's Place Hospice, Dundas would be greatly appreciated by her family. Online condolences can be made by visiting cresmountfennellchapel.com
