It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Pasqualina on September 10, 2020, in her 89th year. She joins her beloved husband Vittorio. Loving mother of Claudio (Leona), Roger (Darlene), Maria (Graham) and David (Kate). Wonderful grandmother to David, Daniel (Sarah), Sarah (Earle), Danielle (Adam), Vincent (Lisa), AJ, and Claire, and adoring great-grandmother 'Nonna' to Abigail, Nathan, Theo, Jaxon, Arabella, and Nolan. She is survived by her dear brother Elio and sister-in-law Antonietta, and sister Silvana. She is predeceased by her parents Luigi Vanni and Carmine DiNardo and her sisters Rinalda, Florinda, Elisa, and Amelia. Dear aunt to Tony, Lida, Marisa, Sandra, Marie, Diane, and many more nieces and nephews in Italy, Argentina and Mauritius. The family is grateful to the staff at Shalom Village and the General Hospital for the care and consideration she received. Pasqualina was a model of courage and strength all her life and, most of all, she taught us how to love and care for those around us. She will be deeply missed and lives forever in our hearts. The best way to honour her memory is to continue to spread her goodness and generosity, the gifts that have touched so many lives.
