Maria Del Re

Del Re, Maria
With heavy hearts and great sadness, we announce the passing of Maria Del Re at Bradford Valley Long Term Care on February 1, 2021.
Beloved wife of the late Luigi. Loving mother of Vito and his wife Stephanie, Gino and his wife Soultana. Cherished Nonna of Marcia (George), Steven (Lisa), Melissa (Peter), Louis (Emily), Marcus and Curtis. Bisnonna of Victoria, Alexandra, Mila, Jayden, and Jaxon.
Maria immigrated to Canada in 1953 from Italy to start a new life with her newlywed husband Luigi. She arrived in Canada via ship in Halifax and made her way to Edmonton. Maria, Luigi and their first son Vito moved to Toronto in 1956, a city they called home. After settling in Toronto for many years their second son Gino was born in 1964. Maria was a caring loving woman. She loved her family and friends, enjoyed entertaining, cooking and travelling. The memories we have will comfort us at this difficult time. These great memories will always be in our hearts forever.

God has called for Maria and is now joining her belated husband Luigi and the many heavenly Angels above. Rest In Peace.

A funeral service will be celebrated at Ward Funeral Home, 4671 Highway 7, Woodbridge on Friday, February 5, 2021 at 9 am. Entombment to follow at Westminster Cemetery. If so desired, memorial donations to the
Alzheimer’s Society of Canada https://alzheimer.ca/en would be appreciated by the family.

A SILENT TEAR

Just close your eyes and you will see
All the memories that you have of me.
Just sit and relax and you will find
I’m really there inside your mind.
Don’t cry for me now I’m gone
For I am in the land of song.
There is no pain, there is no fear
So dry away that silent tear.
Don’t think of me in the dark and cold
For here I am, no longer old.
I’m in that place that’s filled with love
Known to you all as ‘up above’.
