elevated H0nu7 It is with heavy hearts and a profound sense of loss that we announce the peaceful passing of Giuliana Napoleone (Della Rovere) on September 29, 2026, at the age of 71, at home surrounded by her family. 

elevated H0nu7 Beloved wife of Joe and loving mother of Diana (Steve) and Cristina (George). Proud grandmother of Alyssa and Adriana, and cherished fur-grandmother of Espresso.  She has been reunited in Heaven with her parents Rina and Adelmo. She will be missed by her sister Rosalba (Joe). She was a loving sister-in-law to the late Francesca and Agostino, Tony (late Maria), Luisa and Angelo and Leo (late Connie).  She will never be forgotten by all of her nieces and nephews, cousins and extended family. 

elevated H0nu7 Throughout her life, Giuliana was a woman who always put her family before herself. Even through her courageous battle with cancer, she continued to show the strength and grace that had always been such a defining part of who she was. Her devotion to her husband was deep and unwavering, and the love she had for her children was boundless. Their happiness was always at the heart of everything she did.

elevated H0nu7 She welcomed her sons-in-law into the family not simply as husbands to her daughters, but as her own sons.

elevated H0nu7 Her grandchildren held a very special place in her heart. Her face would light up the moment they walked into the room. Their presence brought her a joy that was impossible to miss, and the love between them will remain one of the most treasured parts of her legacy.

elevated H0nu7 She also had a wonderful gift for storytelling. She was always ready to take us back in time with a story from the past, often turning an ordinary memory into something that made everyone laugh. Those stories, her laughter, her warmth, and the moments she shared with us will be remembered and retold for generations to come.

elevated H0nu7 She gave so much of herself to the people she loved, asking for little in return. Her strength carried her family through difficult times, her love brought them together, and her presence made life feel a little warmer and a little brighter.

elevated H0nu7 Her passing has left a void in our lives that words cannot explain. We will miss her deeply, but we will carry her with us, in the stories we tell, the laughter we share, the traditions she helped create, and most of all, in the love she gave so freely to all of us.  Her love will remain a part of our family forever. She was deeply loved, fiercely cherished, and will never be forgotten.

elevated H0nu7 If desired, donations in honour of Giuliana may be made to The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, in recognition of the care and support provided to her and countless others.
