It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Assunta Tartaruga, on February 14, 2022.
Beloved mother to Lisa (Sal), Roberto (Louisa) and Sandra (Joe).
Cherished Nonna to Michael, Liana, Massimo, Victor, Michela, Isabella and Lucas, to whom she often said ‘I love you too mucha, too mucha!’
She will be fondly remembered by her surviving sister Aurelia Provenzano and by her extended family.

Assunta was a symbol of love, strength, kindness and warmth. No matter how trying times were, her motto was always ‘Questa è la vita!’

Her love will live on through her family.
