Anita Cecchelli

——————————————————

Our beautiful beloved mother/nonna, Anita Cecchelli, passed away on March 29, 2023, at the age of 95. She was surrounded by family and the wonderful staff of Regina Gardens Long Term Care facility. Anita was born in Poretta Terme, Italy, and is pre deceased by her siblings, Enzo, Liana and Eres. She immigrated to Canada in 1957 with two of her children to join her husband, the late Ubaldo (Al) Cecchelli, who had immigrated the year before. She became a widow in 1988 and carried on her life alone but surrounded by her loving family. She was an excellent seamstress, cook, an avid fan of her beloved Raptors, and loved to play cards, especially blackjack at casinos. Those who are left behind to cherish her memory are her children, Lila (Jim), Dan, and Dave; her grandchildren, Janelle (Alex), Stephanie (Ricardo), Dane, and Carlene; and her great grandchildren, Jordan (James), Madelaine, Audrey, and Charlotte. Other family members in Italy who remember her with love include nieces and nephews and a much-loved sister-in-law, Norma. Anita was loved by all her family and many friends throughout her life. She was a generous and caring person, the centrepiece of our family, and has left us with wonderful memories but broken hearts at her passing. Cremation has taken place and a family celebration of life will be held, with interment at Resurrection Cemetery. Those who wish to do so may contribute to the Canadian Diabetes Association in her memory.
