Elena NOVELLO Obituary

NOVELLO, Elena Fiorentina
(Nee Visconti)
December 23, 1920 - May 31, 2016
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother (Nana), on Tuesday, May 31, 2016 at the age of 95 years. Known and called "Fiorenza" by all her friends and relatives, she passed away peacefully at Foothills Hospitals after suffering a stroke. Our Nana has been a Calgarian for 56 years emigrating from San Martino Di Finita, Cosenza Italy, to join her husband Mario Edison in 1960. She was a hardworking caring mother and grandmother who loved her family as immensely as she was loved back. Her special brand of Italian cooking and baking was fondly remembered by all her family and friends. She had a passion for taking care of her house and garden, doing so, well into her nineties. Fiorenza was predeceased by her husband Mario Edison in 1996, and her daughter Angela, 1948. She will be dearly missed by her family: Son Tony (Vana) Novello, daughter Mary Kawalauskas and seven grandchildren: Sandra Novello Clausen (Keith), Mario Novello, Dario Novello, Tracey Nagloren (Dennis) Lisa Young, Michael Kawalauskas (Megan) and Victor Kawalauskas (Alexandra). Nana is also survived by six great-grandchildren: Travis Nagloren, Jordan Nagloren, Nathan Young, Trevin Young, Alissa Clausen, and Joel Kawalauskas. Special thank you to the caregivers at Bow View Manor, where she was a resident for the last four years. Also to the staff at Foothills Hospital, Unit 31, who provided great comfort and care in her last days. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Cecilia's Catholic Church (321 - 90th Avenue S.E.) today June, 7, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. Graveside Service to follow at Queen's Park Cemetery at 2:30 p.m. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com. In living memory of Elena Novello, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park.
