Francesca Perruzza
elevated XY9OA Today we lost my beautiful mother who travelled alone to this country to join her love in 1958. She had never been away from home before, and as she sat in the photo booth at Union Station with my father, the camera captured her concern as she wondered what her new life
would be like. After 63 years of marriage, she was blessed with three children, six grandchildren, two great grandchildren, and many, many friends who will miss her spunk, her generosity, and her indomitable spirit. We love you Mom. May God bless you and keep you close to his heart as you will remain in ours.

My mom is gone and has left a big hole in our hearts. She was a kind, generous and loving mom, always willing to help in any way she could. She always put others first and always wanted the best for us. I am thankful she was my mom and I will miss her so much.
I’ll miss our Friday afternoon phone calls mom. Love you 💔
Zia Francesca’s smile, laughter and energy were radiant and contagious, and she always made sure to make others feel loved and welcome. She shone such a warm, bright and enduring light.

Thank you, Comare Vincenza. We also hope that she is resting in peace with your sister in heaven. Our condolences to you and your family on the loss of your sister. We had no idea.
I have so many wonderful memories of Zia Francesca – most of them involving very large meals with lots of food and laughter, of course! We will all miss her beautiful smile and generous soul. She was a small package but an enormous personality. My sincere condolences to Zio Raffaele, Marisa, Anna and Marco, and their families.

May your mother rest in peace.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Thanks so much, Julie. Although you didn.t know my mother very well,
she knew about you through our friendship and was always happy to hear that we were getting together on a regular basis.
Deepest condolences to Raffaele and his family for the loss of the loving Francesca.. she will always be remembered …from :all her friends at The a Bolton Italian Cultural Centre ..May she Rest In Peace 🙏
Thank you to you, Anna, and all of my mother’s friends at the Bolton Cultural Centre. She loved participating in your planned events and gained many friends that she enjoyed sharing her life with.
Zia, I will miss you very much. I can still remember your wedding day and the reception in our basement on Ashburnham with all the aunts cooking. You and Zio started with nothing but with hard work you quickly bought your first house. I remember on New Year’s Eve we would walk all the way to your house for dinner and games and then walk all the way back home well after midnight. I always felt at home with you and Zio. Of course, you always had lots of food even if we came unannounced.
You raised three beautiful children and taught them respect and family values. You were so warm and giving and genuinely concerned about our welfares. I will miss your silly jokes, your hugs and your sage advice.
To Zio Raffaele, Marisa, Anna, Mark and families, our sincere condolences

Felice Perruzza
Thank you so much, Loretta, Bill and family. You know how much my mother cared about you and how she enjoyed participating in the family picnics over the years. Loretta, you were her cooking partner at the picnic and fellow gardener. I know that you shared cuttings from your gardens many times, so she would have greatly appreciated the lovely flowers you sent to the funeral home. Thank you for telling us about the memories you have of her.
Our deepest condolences to Marco and the entire family. We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Frank and Mary Campanelli
What wonderful photos to highlight and honour Francesca’s life. My condolences to her family and friends. She was a mom and a nonna- that makes her amazing, period! May her light shine forever.
Thank you very much, Lori. We too often forget how important the job of mother and nonna actually is. It represents the heart of the family and we all would not be who we are if it weren’t for our mothers and grandmothers. Your reminder is much appreciated.
We would like to send our deepest condolences to entire family. Frances was a beautiful person and we will always remember her meals, which were awesome! Also, the concern that she showed for everyone’s health and safety. You will be missed by all.
Joe, Carrie and Family
Thank you Joe and Carrie. My mother loved spending time with you at Anna and Vince’s house over the years. You could always make her laugh, and she greatly appreciated how you complimented her cooking!
I will miss you Zia. I remember spending time at your home when I was little and how you treated both my brother and I as one of your children – which means loads of food and fun. You never let go of your fun-loving attitude and that spunk that made you who you are.
You continued caring for all of the children in the Perruzza family and beyond, including my own children that loved spending time with you at the family picnics. I will forever cherish you and all of these memories.
My condolences to Zio, Marisa, Anna and Marco along with all of the many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Know you are loved and always will be.
Thank you so much Marianne and Mark and family. My mother would have loved the floral arrangement you sent to the funeral home. You are quite right about her loving all the little children of the next generation. Family meant so much to her.
I have left writing until the last moment as it has been very hard coping with your passing Zia. I was raised with you and all the Perruzza Clan and spent much time with you and your family. You were the closest to our house for a long time. The memories are immense – and happily – all good. Sometimes I had to get mad at mom and dad because they did not want to leave your place but I had to go finish my homework or whatever the case may have been. You always treated us more than fairly and always with love! You were the life of any party!
It was an honor to have known you and I only wish we had more time to share in our older age as we did in our younger age!
Rest in peace Zia Francesca!
Thank you so much Fred and Antoinette, and thank you for the wonderful food basket you brought to my father. It is a shame that the pandemic kept us all apart this past year. I know my Mom greatly missed the family picnic, as it was the one chance for all of us to catch up with each other, and of course share some delicious homemade food. Even in her final months, she always asked me how you were doing and wanted to know about your grandkids.
Dear Zia, I will always remember the time I brought my kids to your house for the very first time Just to say hello, when they were very young. You asked them what they wanted to eat -even though we had just eaten dinner at home you kept insisting that they had to eat something . They jokingly said Pasta with garlic and olive oil! We all started laughing but you ran to the kitchen and immediately made a huge pot of pasta with garlic and olive oil Just like that! You played with them and made them feel like they were your own children. I was always amazed at your natural instinct to love, that flowed beautifully to everyone that came into your life. We will always remember that and we will always remember you all our ❤️
Thank you Loreta. My Mom loved seeing Frankie and Daniel grow up over the years, and always wanted to be sure that everyone was well fed, especially at her house. She loved all her nieces and nephews and their children and was grateful that she married into such a big family, as she was an only child.
My condolences , JP, Alisha and the rest of the Perruzza family.
Francesca was a firecracker of a lady, on the few occasions we all got together to celebrate family.
Nonnas are the heart of a family.❤
Generous, loving and and strong. A true matriarch.
RIP Francesca
Thank you, Patrizia. My mother would have loved your description of her. She was barely four foot, 11 inches tall, but she had a huge personality which we will greatly miss.
We are extremely sorry for the loss of a beloved member of your family. She always made me feel like I was part of the family over these last 40 years that I have known Marisa and John. I loved her upbeat and warm friendly hospitality and know she will be missed by many. God bless her and the rest of your family.
Thank you so much Shelley and Brian. My Mom always asked about you and wanted to know how your mother was. She was so proud of our 40+ year friendship and was very happy that I have such a loyal and loving friend!
