Beloved wife of Delfino Callegari for 61 years. Loving mother to Rob (Laurie) and Greg (Paola). Cherished Nonna to Evan, Emma, Mattea and Roman. Dear sister to Rick (Julie) and the late Elio Turchet. Nella is predeceased by her parents Torindo and Rina Turchet. Sister in law to Elvia Favotto and Maria Callegari and predeceased by her brothers in law Lino Favotto and Giacomo Callegari. She will be fondly remembered by all her nieces and nephews and friends at Teakwood Place.
Nella was born in Pordenone, Italy, moved to Argentina and finally settled in Guelph in her teenage years. She worked for over 20 years at Sears where she met many friends. She loved to cook and made everyone that visited feel welcome in her home. Her smile and laugh will forever be in our hearts.
A special thank you to the staff at Riverside Glen, Eramosa Neighborhood and nurses and doctors at the Guelph General Emergency department.
