Elisa AQUILINI Obituary
Elisa Carlotto and Luigi Aquilini were married in Vicenza, Italy, on August 16, 1953. She was 19 and her husband was a year older. Elisa joined her family in Vancouver while Luigi completed his military service in Italy. After he arrived in Canada, in 1956, he and Elisa began the journey of their lives together, making Vancouver their home during their almost 62 years of marriage. She was the calm centre of her beloved family as it grew and prospered, utterly devoted to her husband and children, never forgetting her humble origins and offering her love, support, and wise counsel to those who needed it. Her acts of philanthropy and generosity enriched many lives but the singular quality that impacted everyone she touched was Love, it was unconditional and always selfless. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
A private family service will be held on Saturday, June 6, 2015. Condolences may be offered to the family at http://kearneyfs.com/obituaries
In lieu of flowers, donations in Elisa's memory to support the Division of Thoracic Surgery at Vancouver General Hospital can be mailed to VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation, 190-855 West 12th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5Z 1M9, online at tinyurl.com/ElisaAquilini or by calling 604-875-4676.

Luigi, Francesco, Roberto, Paolo and families, What can I say...I have known the Aquilini Family for over 50 years and have always regarded Mrs. Aquilini as the rock, but always smiling, cheerful and gracious..Recently, I have had many memorable Sunday brunches with Luigi and Elisa.....I was with my wife Eleni for 35 years and her passing was devastating....but Luigi, you had over 60 years with your wife so it is difficult to imagine your grief....and I will deeply miss Elisa and her very pleasant manner and smile...
Your friend, Nelson Skalbania
