She leaves to mourn her devoted daughters Francesca (Jason Fielden) and Patricia (Paul Fabrizio), along with her grandchildren, the loves of her life, Justin and Sienna Fielden and Mia and Grace Fabrizio. She will be sorely missed by her sister Mariolina (in Italy), her brother-in-law Steve (Rita), sister-in-law Enrica Fulvi (in Italy), her cousins, nieces and nephews (in Canada and Italy), as well as all her many, many friends. Visitation will be held on Friday, May 25, 2018 from 2 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. at the Cotes des Neiges Funeral Home, 4525 ch. de la Cote-des-Neiges, followed by a mass to celebrate her life on Saturday, May 26, 2018 at 10:30 a.m. in the chapel of the funeral home.

Dearest Fran, Patty and all your family and friends. It is with great sympathy that I offer my deepest condolences on the passing of your mom. Mrs Ottoni always filled me with great joy and I see in you both, by her raising two strong, compassionate, independent and loving women, that her spirit and vitality remain alive and forceful, and continue to shine in her grandchildren. May she rest in peace and be comforted that her legacy is entrenched through the example of her very amazing daughters, whom I am privileged to know as friends. God Bless.
