In sweet and loving memory of Salvina (Sally) Michele, who gently passed away in her home on Tuesday January 15, 2019.

She will also be missed by her loving aunt, Maria Alongi, and her in-laws Anna, Nazzareno and Filomena, Dora and Giuseppina.

Salvina lived for her family. She dedicated her time preparing her grandchildren’s favourite meals and being their number one supporter in everything they did. She will be watching down from heaven over her beloved grandchildren Amanda, Emily, Charlie, Victor, Valerie, Ethan and Christian.

Sally will be forever remembered by all those around her. Her selflessness, her passion for cooking, and being in company will continue to live on.
