Carmela Ruffolo

God called Carmela peacefully on November 10, 2024 at the age of 96. She is now reunited in Heaven with her loving husband Giuseppe (2002) and son Angelo (2007).

Carmela was born in San Fili, Cosenza on September 23, 1928 to Michele and Angela Muto. She was the second youngest of 9 children. She is now reunited with her siblings. 

Cherished by her dear daughter Luisa and son in law Vincenzo De Francesco. Proud nonna to Steven (Melissa) and Robert (Christina). Adored bisnonna to Aidan, Matteo, Hailey and Alessio.

Carmela was a kind and gentle person, always finding the will and strength needed to overcome life’s challenges, while bravely fighting even in her final days. She will forever be our matriarch and greatest role model in life. 

Her love for her family was unwavering and boundless, it will continue to be a source of warmth and comfort for all who knew her. Her family was her world and her love for them was the guiding light in her life.

She will be held dear in the hearts of her family, friends and relatives.

A special recognition is given to the staff of York Region Maple Health Center for providing a safe and loving home in her final years of life.
