Interment
Maria Alimena
Maria left us quietly on the evening of March 6, 2021. Born to Francesco and Carmela Parise in Cosenza,
Italy on January 5, 1932, she was the second of five siblings, Carmine, Antonio, Luigi, and Rita.
Immigrated to Toronto in 1960 and married Giovanni Alimena. Loving mother of four wonderful
children, Luigina, Lea (Steven), Giorgio (Christina), Giannamaria (Robert). Loving grandmother of Adam,
Chelsea (Alexander), David, Giovanni, William, Elena, Zachary, Evan, Justin, and Alexander. Maria
adored her daughter-in-law ‘Christi’ who would tell her with enthusiasm what a great ‘cooker’ she is and
her sons-in-law, Steve and Bob, she would always say what ‘wonderful, wonderful’ men they are. Maria
loved to sing her Italian folk songs and was always ready with an Italian saying or fable. Maria had a love
of flowers, coffee, sweets but most of all, she adored her family. Maria was a mother who allowed her
children to spread their wings and live life to its fullest. She knew how to bring smiles to her
grandchildren’s faces and make them feel good. She embraced us with her love and showered us with
hugs and kisses every day. Dear Mamma and Nonna, we will miss you so much!
