Albina CASAGRANDE Obituary
(nee Gazzola)
1913 - 2014
Peacefully on September 16, 2014 at the Villa Marconi nursing home, just short of her 101st birthday. She was born November 18, 1913 in Riese Pio X, Italy and immigrated to Canada at the age of 15 along with her 3 siblings to join their father who had arrived earlier. It was here that she met her future husband Isadoro who had also immigrated from Pieve Di Soligo, Italy and they were subsequently married in Ottawa on September 15, 1931. She is predeceased by her parents; Giovanni and Genoveffa Gazzola (nee Pellizzari) her husband Isidoro, sister Mary (Bianco) brothers Carlo and Angelo Gazzola. She is survived by sons Bill (Diane deceased) and Roger Casagrande (Anne), grandchildren, Mike (Alyson) Tommy (Jacquie), great grandchildren, Zack, Brooke, Natalie, Jordan and Brandon as well as many nieces and nephews. Remains have been cremated and a private Interment at Capital Memorial Gardens will take place at a later date.

Roger and family,
I only met Albina once many many years ago and instantly liked her.
If I know my late wife, your cousin Beverly at all she was at the gates of heaven waiting for Albina and they are having party.
My deepest condolences.

Dear Roger and Ann,
We were saddened to hear of your mom's passing. Her sense of determination and her obvious loving nature were evident when we would encounter her in the hallway of the Villa Marconi and hear her call out ' I love you, I love you, Iove you' as we passed by. We smile when we remember your regular Sunday morning visits with her. She has earned her just reward.
Our sympathy, Dan and Maureen Kennedy

My deepest condolences for the loss of your mother. I remember seeing your mom at Villa Marconi from time to time. Her 100th birthday was truly a highlight. We don't see that too often. What I remember best about your mother was her relentlessly trying to steal more cookies. She had an amazing sweet tooth but then again she was a Sweet Lady. May she now rest in peace and God grant you serenity during this difficult time. You will be in my prayers.
