Obituary
Maria Vincenza Guerrisi, née Pepè, sadly passed away on April 4, 2023 after a long and happy life. She is now reunited with her beloved husband, Annunziato.
Born on March 20, 1930 in San Giorgio Morgetto, Reggio Calabria, Italy. In May 1957, Maria Vincenza and Annunziato left their hometown to start a new life in Toronto.
Cherished mother to Giuseppe (Effie), Concetta (Antonio), Franco (Anne), Michele (Rita) and Stella.
Maria Vincenza was a proud nonna and her strength will live on through her ten grandchildren, Michael (Jocelyne), Maria Jacqueline, Diana (Jeffrey), Luigi (Krista), Andrew (Adelia), Daniel (Diana), Julia (Vittorio), Christopher, Marina and Nicolas, and five great-grandchildren, Angelina, Antonio, Mia, Joseph and Natalia.
She will also be missed by her many nieces and nephews in Canada, Italy and France.
Riposa in pace cara Mama.
Nonna, we were so lucky to spend all these years with you. Your strength, unconditional love, sharp wit, sound advice, delicious cooking, and endearing and mischievous smile will be dearly missed and never forgotten.
