January 28th, 1929 – December 3rd, 2020

With great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of our dear Mother, Michelina Astorino (Grande), on December 3rd, 2020.

Michelina was born on January 28th, 1929, in Scigliano Cosenza, Italy. She is predeceased by her loving husband of 53 years, Mario Astorino.

Michelina will be dearly missed by her two daughters, Valerie (Gary) Kidd and Marialina (Rick) White. She also leaves to cherish her memory six grandchildren Ryan (Vicki), Aaron (Keri), Troy (Kyla), Natalie, Jessica (Joseph), and Nicole as well as nine beautiful great grandchildren Lynden, Kylan, Annabella, Olivia, Charlotte, Grace, Emery, Drayden,  Chaysen and her brother, Natalino (Amba) Grande.

We will always treasure many memories of our Mother enjoying her garden, cooking family dinners and laughing with her friends over coffee and cookies, her greatest joy were her grandchildren and great grandchildren who she showered the love and affection.

The family wishes to thank the caregivers at the Kamloops Adult Day Program where Michelina enjoyed many happy days. We also wish to thank Mom’s caregivers at Royal Inland Hospital and Ridgeview Lodge for the excellent care and compassion she received.
