elevated 7LR6I Obituary

elevated 7LR6I With great sadness, we announce the passing of our mother, Lena (Giovannina Carolina) Campitelli (nee Ferrari), in her 88th year, on Tuesday, October 4, 2022.

elevated 7LR6I Predeceased by her husband, John, Lena leaves her two daughters, Emily (Alan Paterson) and Patsy (Robert Ricciuti) who will all miss her powerful presence in their lives.

elevated 7LR6I She will be sorely missed by her grandchildren, Carolina (Omair Hussain), Johnny (Arlene), Christina (Kalev Hess) and her great-granddaughter, Carmen Dale.

elevated 7LR6I She will also be missed by her loving nephew, Frank Ferrari.

elevated 7LR6I Sister to the late Michael Ferrari (Paolina), Joe Ferrari (Loretta), the late Mary Latini (Lindo), Basil Ferrari (Rosina), the late Louisa Spagnola (John), Vittoria Ferrari (Rosetta), Tony Ferrari, Italo Ferrari (Erminia), Joanna Maio (Fernando).

elevated 7LR6I Sister-in-law to the late Fred Campitelli (Margaret), the late Mary Ardellini (Claudio), Bruno Campitelli (Diane), Vira Persichilli (George).

elevated 7LR6I Lena expressed her love through her passion for cooking.  Famous for her Christmas Soup and her Roast Beef, we will never forget the many family dinners we all enjoyed together.  She was never happier than when all her family were together around the table. 

elevated 7LR6I She was devoted to her family, including her extended family, and loved to impart her wisdom and her life lessons on anyone who would listen.  She was generous with her care and concern and always lent a helping hand to those who needed her.

elevated 7LR6I Her world was complete when her great granddaughter was born and during her last days, video chats with Carmen were the highlight of her day.

elevated 7LR6I Her many friends will remember her for her kindness, her hospitality, her generosity, and her devotion. 

elevated 7LR6I And in a nod to her vices, a day at the casino was like a ray of sunshine, unless of course, she didn’t win!  Second only to her love of her racehorses, she loved sneaking off with her partner in crime, Flora, to play just for a couple of hours…….

elevated 7LR6I She had a special place in her heart for her nieces, Lori and Rita, who never let a week go by without checking in on her.  Her love for you was boundless.

elevated 7LR6I Thanks to her caregivers, Flora and Sita, for their devotion and comfort during her many difficult days. 

elevated 7LR6I Donations to the Charity of your choice.  Flowers are welcomed.
