elevated 81pSn Obituary
It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Filomena “Mena” Marcello, on Friday, October 2nd, 2026, at the age of 97.
elevated 81pSn Mena was the beloved wife of the late Pasquale Marcello, her husband and lifelong companion. Together, they built a beautiful life centred on faith, family, hard work, and love. Their devotion to one another and the family they created will remain a lasting legacy for generations to come.
elevated 81pSn Mena was a devoted and loving mother to Joe (Mirella), Bruna (Dieter), and Anna (Sam), and was predeceased by her beloved daughters Enza and Sara. Her children were the greatest treasures of her life. No matter how old they became, they would always be her children, and she never stopped worrying about them, praying for them, and loving them with all her heart.
She was a cherished grandmother to Patricia (Joey), Amanda (Vince), Jonathan, Michael, Annamarie, Samantha (Adam) and Christina, and a proud Great-Grandmother to Christian, Julian, and Isabella.
elevated 81pSn Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought her immeasurable joy. She cherished every visit, every conversation, every celebration, and every precious moment spent surrounded by her family. To them, she was not simply a grandmother and great-grandmother, but a source of unconditional love, wisdom, comfort, and strength.
elevated 81pSn Mena’s greatest gift was her ability to make family feel like home. She carried with her the traditions and values that were so important to her—faith, family, generosity, and the belief that no matter what life brought, family should always stand together. Around her table, through family gatherings and celebrations, she created memories that will be treasured forever.
elevated 81pSn A woman of deep faith, Mena trusted in God throughout her long and remarkable life. Her faith gave her strength through both joyful and difficult times, and she found comfort in prayer and in the promise that this life is not the end, but a journey home to our Heavenly Father.
elevated 81pSn As we say goodbye, we find comfort in knowing that Mena’s journey on earth has come to an end, and that she is now at peace in the presence of the Lord. We pray that Our Blessed Mother, Mary, whom she trusted and loved, has welcomed her with open arms and guided her gently home to Heaven.
elevated 81pSn We find peace in believing that Mena is once again reunited with her beloved Pasquale and her dear daughters, Enza and Sara. What a beautiful reunion that must be.
elevated 81pSn Although our hearts are heavy with the pain of losing her, we are grateful to God for the blessing of having Mena in our lives for 97 years. Her life was a testament to the enduring power of a mother’s love, the strength of family, and the beauty of faith.
elevated 81pSn Her greatest legacy is the love she shared so generously, a love that will continue to live on through her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her love will live on in the stories we tell, the traditions we carry forward, the meals we share, the prayers we say, and most of all, in the love we have for one another.
elevated 81pSn Mena will be deeply missed by her family, relatives, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing and loving her. We will carry her memory in our hearts and thank God for the precious gift of her life.
elevated 81pSn Until we meet again, may you rest peacefully in the loving arms of Jesus, reunited with those you loved and surrounded forever by God’s eternal light.

Remembering my dear godmother, who lived 97 years and was such a sweet and caring lady. She always had a smile, and that’s how I will remember her—with warmth, kindness and a loving heart.
I was fortunate to have her as my godmother. Ninety-seven years is a wonderful long life, but it’s still hard to say goodbye to someone you love.
Rest in peace. You will be missed and always remembered with love. ❤️
Sam and Family:
It means the world to our family to know she is surrounded by such caring and thoughtful people. Your kindness truly touched our hearts.
Sincerely, Joe, Bruna, Anna and families
My deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved mom. May you find comfort and knowing how fortunate you all were to have her for so many years.
Goodbye to a very special aunt who will always hold a place in my heart
I will miss all the wonderful stories you shared with me about the life you and my mother shared together.
You lived a long and beautiful life, but saying goodbye is still so difficult
I will treasure the memories made when visiting you during March break and summer break. I can still picture those special moments when we would sit down together, and Enza would immediately offer us an espresso to enjoy with the Sweets I would bring. I will truly miss those moments, filled with laughter, stories, and togetherness.
With heartfelt sympathy and love, Bruna Mannella
Bruna,

I was so deeply sorry to hear about Aunt Mena. Hearing the news immediately brought back so many wonderful memories of when we were kids. I always loved the time we spent together back then, and Aunt Mena’s warmth is something I will never forget.
Even though time and busy lifestyles have kept us apart over the years, those childhood days still mean the world to me. Ninety-seven is a truly incredible life, but losing your mother is a profound loss at any age. Please know that I am holding all of you close in my heart and sending you my deepest love and comfort at this difficult time.

Our deepest condolences to Joe, Mirella, and the entire family on the loss of your beloved mother. The love she had for her family shows what a truly special and remarkable woman she was. Holding you all close in our thoughts and sending you strength and comfort during this difficult time.
In an embrace of sorrow I pore forth my deepest and most heartfelt condolence, to the children, grandchildren, and all of Signora Filonena’s family. No words exist that could soften the pain and loss of such an extraordinary Woman, Mother, sister and friend. Mena was a true Woman of substance, a Woman of principals, courage, strength, honesty and biggest of all love. Her love was unselfish her love was not jealous, her love wasn’t boastful her love was everything and her smile with that light in her eyes said it all. In the time I have had the grace of knowing her Signora Mena made my heart sing from the way she greated me to the chuckles we would share. Forever and always I will care her in my heart .
Che la terra vi sia lieve Signora Mena e che voi riposiate in pace Nel immenso giardino di nostro Signore fra le sue braccia in unione con tutti I vostri cari. A voi una prece perenne Riposiate in pace.🌹
Our deepest condolences to the Marcello family. Growing up nearby we have fond memories with your family. May all the wonderful memories you shared with your mom bring comfort during this difficult time. RIP Mena🙏🏻
