Maria PETRUCCI Obituary
September 9, 1923 – September 16, 2016
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Maria passed away surrounded by her loving family. Born to parents Maria Assunta and Vincenzo Alfieri in Santa Croce di Magliano, CB, Italy. Moved to Vancouver in 1961. Predeceased by her husband Mario, brother Domenico Antonio and sister Elizabetta. Survived by son Giovanni (Filomena), daughter Ida (Salvatore); 7 grandchildren, Maria (Mike), Teresa, Rosa (Daniel), Maria (Rick), Lisa, Mario and Grazia (Antonio); 4 great- grandchildren, Gianni, Sienna, Victoria and Nicolas; her loving sister Ida (Giuseppe), many nieces, nephews and relatives in Montreal, Toronto, Mississauga, Hamilton and Italy. Maria was known for her strong convictions, family values and love of gardening, baking and many crafts. She possessed inspirational qualities that all who knew her admired and loved her for. Her Catholic faith was her spiritual guide. Prayers will be offered at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 22 at St. Francis of Assisi, 2025 Napier St, Vancouver where a Funeral Mass will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, September 23.

Larry and I send our sympathies to the family on the passing of your beloved Nonna. She was Nonna to all of us. She was a wonderful woman ... intelligent, sharp with a great sense of humour. I am so glad that I was able to spend time with her just a few months ago. We will miss her. Our visits to Vancouver will never be the same. Rest well dear lady. With love, Paula and Larry
