FRANCESCUTTO, BRUNA A longtime resident of Toronto, died the morning of Tuesday, October 29, 2019 at the Harold and Grace Baker Centre. Bom in 1934, in Savorgnano, Pordenone, Italy, to Maria and Francesco "cechi" Brovedani, Bruna grew up alongside her four sisters, Rina, Giovanna, Angela and Petronilla and her brother, Renato.

For the next fifty-five years, Bruna had worked as a domestic and helped nourish her family's growth. By the mid-1970s, Bruna became a Canadian citizen.

She had a wonderful smile that often lit up a room. She is survived by her husband, Aldo, her sons, Robert and Edy, her daughters-in-law, Miriam and Erin, and grandchildren, Oliver and Spencer; all of whom brought her much joy in her later years.
