Maria Sacchetti Obituary
March 8, 1939 – October 29, 2020
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Maria Sacchetti on Thursday, October 29, 2020 in St. Joseph's Hospital, at the age of 81 years, after a long and hard-fought battle with Parkinson's Disease.
Born on March 8, 1939 in Arsita Teramo, Italy she was one of seven children born to Gabrielle and Asunta DiMarcantonio. Her childhood on the family farm was difficult, but she had many fond memories to recount. At the age of 20 her future husband Eugenio returned to Italy and asked her to be his bride. They both returned to Port Arthur where they were married in 1960. Together they raised a family and made many good friends and fond memories. Maria worked several jobs before retiring from many years of service at the General Hospital. Maria enjoyed cooking, sewing, long walks and you could always count on her to have something ready for guests dropping in for a visit. In her later years, she enjoyed working on puzzles, tending to her garden, and socializing with friends and family.
Maria will be sadly missed by her family and friends. Survived by her son Domenic (Bruna), grandson Andrew who held a special place in her heart, brother Bruno (Lucia) DiMarcantonio, brothers-in-law Amadeo Consorti, Vincenzo Ciotti, Ermando Sacchetti, sisters-in-law Iolanda (Antonio) D'Angelo, Eva Sanzo, Maria Sacchetti (Thunder Bay), Angelina DiMarcantonio, Maria Sacchetti (Italy) as well as numerous nephews, nieces, aunts and cousins.
Maria was predeceased by her husband of 47 years, Eugenio, who passed away in 2009, parents Gabrielle and Assunta DiMarcantonio, brother Antonio, sisters Preziosa, Lucia, Carmella and Silvana, father-in-law and mother-in-law Domenico and Costanza Sacchetti, brothers-in-law Attilio, Salvatore, and sisters-in-law Solina and Eva.
The Sacchetti family would like to extend their warmest gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Feldstein and the nurses and staff of St Joseph's Hospital, 4 South and North, as well as volunteers, friends and families who helped and cared for Maria during her illness.
Services will be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020 when family and friends will gather in St. Anthony's R.C. Church for the Funeral Mass beginning at 11:00 a.m. celebrated by Rev. Luigi Filippini. Entombment will follow in Our Lady of Charity Mausoleum, St. Andrew's Cemetery. Visitation will be held in the church one hour prior to the Mass. Should friends so desire, donations may be made in Maria's memory to Parkinson Canada.

I was saddened to hear about the loss of your mother. I was just in Thunder Bay recently for my mothers funeral and when looking at family photos with my sisters and brothers we came across many pictures that had your parents in them. Your parents were dear friends to my parents and I know that my parents enjoyed spending time with them. Your mother was an amazing lady, always thinking of others. She had a wonderful smile and whenever she saw me she would always ask about my son and always with sincere interest.
I remember many times when your mother and Zia Ida Scocchia would drive to my mother's house and take her out for lunch. A wonderful woman, your mother.
You know that she is in heaven now looking after and fussing over your father.
She will be sorely missed and I will always have fond memories of her and your father.
Our thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Domenic,
We are very saddened to hear of the loss of your dear mother. Although we have been living away from Thunder Bay for years, we can still recall her warm smile, kindness and gentle comportment. It was easy to admire and respect her.
As for you, Bruna and Andrew, no matter how long she'd been ill and could have prepared yourselves for this time, it is never easy to lose a loving person like your mother. However, try to remember you are all fortunate to have good loving memories of her. No matter what, cherish and trust those memories and let them bring you comfort at this difficult time. In the future, let them lift your spirits and guide your lives.
We are thinking of you, and praying for you all. She will be remembered fondly.
Hugs from our family,
Gabriella, Antonio and Michael

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. I was one of her homemakers while she was still in her own home. She was so friendly, always a smile, and so thankful. Many stories were shared about her family, always spoken with love and pride. May your memories bring comfort.

Bruna and family, please accept my deepest sympathies for the loss of your mother. I screened you in for your numerous visits which I’m sure brought her much comfort during the long days.
May she now Rest In Peace
