Obituary
elevated pVIIq It is with a heavy heart and profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved mother and grandmother, Antonia Ruscica (nee Morra) after a short but valiant battle with cancer. Antonia passed away peacefully on January 10, 2023, at the age of 77 surrounded by her family. Antonia was a loving wife of 48 years to Vincenzo (predeceased). She was a caring and devoted mother to Sam (Lora) and Carmelo (Joanne). Her grandchildren were her world. She was a loving and proud nonna to Vincent, Robert, Vince, Lucas, Francesco, Lauren, Victoria, and her namesake angel in heaven, Antonia. She leaves behind her sister and best friend, Felicetta (Luigi), who was always by her side, as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives, and friends. Antonia has left this earth to be reunited in Heaven with her husband Vincenzo, granddaughter, Antonia, brother Rocco (Georgina), and parents Carmelo and Vincenza Morra. Antonia suffered through many health struggles over the last several years and although we had hoped to have her here with us for much longer, we are comforted that she is now at peace in heaven. She will be sadly missed by all who loved her but will be kept alive in their hearts through many treasured memories.

We will miss you Zia. You always had a heart of gold, a sweet smile, and so much love for your family. God bless you in heaven and may you rest in peace.
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Sending our deepest condolences to the family. God bless your mom in heaven
Zia Toni,
You have been and will always be a teacher of the important values of life: extending love at all times, optimism regardless of the circumstances, hard work in the face of all challenges, commitment to family and all those in your inner circle, a pursuit of happiness in all moments, and the creation of heart space for those like Daniel, who need it most. We will always remember your warm, gentle smile and infectious laughter. We will miss seeing you but are comforted in knowing the place we hold for you in our hearts.
May this next place of your journey honour the awe and wonder of who you are and bring you peace, solace and love.
Relishing in all the memories…❤️
Dear Felicetta & Luigi & families – Along with my mother Emma & our families ( who send love & hugs), we offer you the most sincere condolianze on the loss of your loved sister.
Your constant care gave her much happiness & you can be proud of how well you loved her. I know she will be missed in your life. As you have told me many times through the years “you can only do your best” – you did that for her & now you will have sweet memories to cherish.
Keep well & take care of yourself too.
