Jennie Di Luca Obituary

With profound sadness we announce the passing of Jennie (Janina) Di Luca (nee Ligas) on May 3, 2021. Predeceased by her first husband, John Tonski and by Vince Di Luca. Dear friend of the late Michael Gula. Beloved mother of Irene (late Ron) Smith, Jean Marie Tonski and Lydia (Michael) Morrow. Devoted grandmom to Jeffrey (Nichole) Morrow, Brian (Breanne) Morrow and Jonathan Morrow. Doting GG to Laryn and Drew and Olin and Oisin. Sister of the late Mary and Peter Schmidt, the late Laura and Tony Wisniewski, Henry (Stephanie) Ligas and Cecilia (late Don) Coles. Sister-in-law of the late Maria and Enrico Geloso, Gino (late Carolina) Di Claudio, Lena (late Gabriel) Di Luca, Tina (late Peter) Piccoli. Aunt to many nieces and nephews in Canada and abroad. Jennie was a 50 plus year member of the C.W.L. and spent over 30 years practising her faith at St. Patrick Church, Hamilton. She was a Life Member and Past President of the Ladies Auxiliary to the former Branch 315 of the Royal Canadian Legion. Also, she was a Life Member of Hamilton Health Sciences Volunteer Association and of the Ontario Volunteer Association. She was proud to have been an employee of the graphics department at Stelco for 23 years. She was a passionate, independent spirit, generous and empathetic and was not afraid to voice her opinion.

Although I only had the pleasure of knowing Jennie for a short while, I will miss her greatly. She was charming, open and honest, strong, and so welcoming. She instantly made one feel like a lifelong friend. May you rest in peace, Jennie.

In loving memory of a wonderful sister-in-law. I was so glad to recently talk to Jennie. I will really miss her phone calls, and birthday cards over the years. Her thoughtfulness will never be forgotten. Thank you for everything you did for my brother Vince. May God bless you and your loving family.

Aunt Jennie was a very special person! Even though our Uncle Vince died a long time ago, Aunt Jennie remained a very important part of our family. She came to many family functions and we loved spending time with such a beautiful and kind soul. I will miss her phone call at Christmas, thanking me for the Christmas card I sent her. It was always an opportunity to ‘catch up’ on life. We loved you Aunt Jennie! Your kind spirit will never be forgotten!
