elevated qm7iL Obituary
elevated qm7iL Rachele Di Gennaro, born May 8, 1931 passed away peacefully April 21, 2022 at
Southlake Residential Village in her 90th year. As one of 6 children, she was an
incredibly kind, generous, and selfless woman. After living the first part of her life in
Cimitile, Italy, Rachele met her surviving husband Pasquale Di Gennaro and they
started their beautiful family in 1960 when their son Giuseppe was born, followed
by their daughter Irene in 1962. It was not until 1966 when Rachele and Pasquale
made the terrifying decision to move their family of 4 to Canada with nothing but
their suitcases and the clothes on their backs. Now, 56 years later, she leaves behind her life long partner, her beloved daughter Irene son in-law Pat, her son Giuseppe and daughter in-law Letiza. Cherished Nonna to Domenic, Joanna, and Alexandra.
