Di CICCIO, Giuseppa 'Pina' - It is with profound sadness that the Di Ciccio family announces the peaceful passing of Giuseppa "Pina" DiCiccio on February 7, 2021 at the age of 84.
Pina was born March 19, 1936 in Castiglione di Casauria, Italy to Octavio and Annunziata Fasciani.
She resided in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and will be lovingly remembered by her children Pasqualino and his wife Mischelle, Samuele,Stefano and his wife Isabelle.
She will be cherished by her grandchildren Roni, Tori, Lucas, Ali, Matteo and Luca, as well as great-granddaughter Sofia.
She is predeceased by her younger siblings Biagio and Ginia and survived by her sisters Eda and Dina along with many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Pina immigrated to Canada in 1969 with little formal education and was a seamstress by trade.
In her early years in Canada, she would look after young children during the day and sew late into every night, working hard to raise her boys as a single mother.
As her children grew, she landed work as a secretary at their school and went on to manage a small health food store for about 15 years until she retired.
She was profoundly proud of "her store" and took great pride in her work and everything she did but her greatest passions were her family and her faith.
She was a devoted Seventh-Day Adventist always putting her faith first regardless of the numerous challenges life threw at her. She was a ray of sunshine, always smiling and was loved by all who came to know her.
Due to COVID restrictions, the visitation and funeral services will be held privately by invitation only.
While the family wishes you could all be with them in their time of loss, they appreciate your kind words and condolences Rest in Peace Mom.
