December 17, 1936 – June 30, 2021

On Wednesday, June 30th, surrounded by the love of her family, our precious Emma Durigon, at the age of 84 years, began her journey to her eternal home. She will be reunited with her husband Angelo and her brothers and sisters.

She will be forever loved and deeply missed by her daughter Angela and son-in-law Sheldon Morice, granddaughters Ashley (David) and Courtney (Connor) as well as her only surviving sister Enes Christianson, sister in-laws Helen, Stella, and Jenny Comazzetto, and brother in-law Giovanni Durigon.

Born and raised in Kamloops, Emma was the youngest daughter of the nine Comazzetto children. She was the first daughter to pursue a career outside the home. She loved and valued her work as a legal secretary so much that she was employed by the same firm for 62 years! She saw many transitions and was central to their success. Her work ethic and dedication was an inspiration to her numerous nieces and nephews.

Emma had a zest for life. Her outgoing personality drew people towards her. Whether it was entertaining in her home, celebrating at the lake, or enjoying a night out, she was the life of the party! Emma immersed herself in the community both socially and culturally, introducing her to many lifelong friends.

Emma was a loving wife who cherished her time with her husband. They did so much together, but one of her greatest joys was travelling to Italy to see the birthplace of her parents and to meet Angelo’s family.

The proudest moment of her life was the birth of her daughter, Angela. They leaned on each other during difficult times but also enjoyed many happy times together. Her granddaughters Ashley and Courtney brought her even more joy and made her life complete. She was known as Noni to many and loved them all unconditionally.

The family would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to her physicians Dr. Kip, Dr. Hodgins, and the wonderful and compassionate care she received at Hospice.

Prayers will be recited on Monday, July 12 at 7pm at Sacred Heart Cathedral. Father Fred Weisbeck will celebrate the Mass of the Christian Burial on Tuesday July 13th at 10:30am at the cathedral. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Kamloops Hospice Association.
