elevated 1hkvP It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Agostina Ciofani, nee Frigioni, who passed away on September 03, 2021, at the age of 88.
elevated 1hkvP Agostina, daughter of Alfonso and Lucia Frigioni, nee Sperandio, was born in Cerchio, Italy on August 21, 1933. She immigrated to France in 1955 and later to Canada, in 1971.
elevated 1hkvP Throughout her life, Agostina was a strong, independent, determined person who would go to any length to support her family and show her love. From her childhood to her old age, she has done many, many things including milking cows, raising rabbits, planting a garden, sewing clothes, knitting, working in a factory, offering to take care of all her grandchildren, cooking her specialties from Abruzzo and opening her house to visitors. It was with an open heart that again and again, Agostina’s message was to be kind; to value our faith, culture and family ties; to make us feel capable and to follow our dreams. Agostina was forever ready to guide, console, inspire all of us to the best of her knowledge.
elevated 1hkvP Agostina was predeceased by her husband, Domenico; her brother Emidio and her sisters, Maria, Maria Grazie, Antonina, Maria Domenica, Concetta; and her son in law, Rosario. She is leaving behind her sister Anna.
elevated 1hkvP Agostina is loved and cherished by many people including her children, Patricia (Dominic), Jean Noel (Zorina) and Nadine; her grandchildren Stephanie, Jessica (Jaren), Samantha (Vladimir), Michael and Kaitlin; her great grandchild, Owen.
elevated 1hkvP Due to COVID, a private mass and funeral will be held on Wednesday, September 8, 2021. If desired, donations can be made to Heart and Stroke Foundation or Canadian Cancer Society. Family and friends can leave a sympathy message on the memorial page of Agostina.
