She was the daughter of the late Giovanni and Orlandina Margiotta (who she has not been with since her childhood). Dear wife of the late Giulio. Precious mother of Johann and her husband John, Gloria and her husband Norm, and Paul and his wife Dana. She was the best friend and “Nonna Jenny” of: Jennifer I., Anthony, John Paul and the late Patrick, Elise, Benjamin, Hudson, Jennifer D., Laura and her husband Michael, and affectionate great grandmother of Nicolas.

She was the dear sister of Silvio (Shirley), Aldo (Maureen), late Lisa (Ciro), late Lydia (Fiore), honoured in law to Iola (late Ardino), Frank (Nicki), late Livio (Tina) and late Albert.
