Born and raised on a farm in Crocetta del Montello in the Province of Treviso, Italy, Mom grew up helping to tend to the animals, garden, grapes and crops. After completing her primary school years she went on to learn the tailor/seamstress trade and worked for a clothing manufacturer in Italy. In 1949 she met her future husband while visiting her sister in Trail and she and Timothy were married in 1950. In 1951 the first of their children was born and in 1952 they moved to Kamloops where she spent the rest of her days. While raising her four children she worked out of the home continuing her sewing trade.
Her children, sewing and gardening were her passions as well as her faith and she was an active member of the CWL. In her later years she joined the Crown Jewels of Canada Society and enjoyed her outings with the ladies.
Prayer service will held at 7:00 p.m. Sunday May 22 at Our Lady Of Perpetual Help Church, 635 Tranquille Road, Kamloops and Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 a.m. Monday May 23 at our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, Fr.
