Dorina Stanghieri

Stanghieri, Dorina
September 22, 1937 – September 22, 2013

With aching hearts we sadly announce the passing of our beloved mother, mother-in-law and grandmother. After a short but courageous battle with lymphoma, Dorina was gracefully reunited with the love of her life, Alfonso, on the day of her 76th birthday.
Although petite in stature, “Dorinella” was anything but small in her spirit, character and generosity. She was the matriarch of her family and will be sorely missed by her two loving daughters, Pina Sacco and Rosanna Napolitano, her son-in-law, Al “El”, her grandchildren, Chloe Krizia and Christian, her grand dog Mia, her brothers, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, neighbours and friends in Canada, Italy and the USA. The memory of her fervent personality and passionate demeanor will forever live on in the many lives that she touched.
Family and friends will be received at the Ward Funeral Home, 4671 Hwy 7 (west of Pine Valley Dr.), Woodbridge, on Wednesday from 2-4 & 6-9 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial celebrated at St. Peter’s Church, 100 Bainbridge Ave., Woodbridge on Thursday, September 26, 2013 at 9:30am. Entombment at Queen of Heaven Cemetery. As expressions of sympathy donations to Lymphoma Canada would be greatly appreciated by the family.
