We are deeply heartbroken and filled with sadness over the passing of our beloved Mom.
Mom was a strong, beautiful, wise, resilient and independent woman. She was an amazing cook, always creating the best sauces and dishes for anybody and everybody. She was also an exceptionally talented self taught seamstress. She loved to dance and sing. Mom’s love for her family was enormous. She will be forever loved and missed by her children; Teresa & Keith Hodge, Len Fonte & Lisa Manni, Adriana & Dave Storey, Laura & John Webster and Jill & Rick Bagni.
Forever loved and cherished by her grandchildren; Erik, Jordan (Meg), Adam (Alice), Stephanie, Ryan (Shannon), David, Christian, Jaden, Brandon (Jayce, Cooper, Ariyah, Izabel), Josh, Ally and Great Granddaughter Penelope “the baby”.
Lovingly remembered by Jennifer Rooney and Joe De Koning, who remain a cherished part of our family. A special thank you to the Refaeh family for loving her as one of their own. Predeceased by her parents Michele Pezzano & Rosa Maria Fiorello, her brother Giuseppe Pezzano and late husband Michele Timarchi..
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the GGH Palliative Care Team, Nurses and PSW’s on 7 East.
Knowing you Mom, you’re already cooking for all of the angels. Friends and loved ones we’ve lost along the way will gather to greet you with a loving embrace. Then, you will put on a pair of your bedazzled dancing shoes. Show them what you’ve got.
