elevated 85yb3 Obituary

elevated 85yb3 Peacefully, with her children by her side, holding her hand, Maria Carrano passed away after a lengthy battle with dementia & Alzheimer’s. She was a devoted and loving wife to Michele (deceased in 2020) and beloved mother to Pat and Angela. Loving mother in-law to Frank and Chantal. Nonna Mary absolutely adored and cherished her grandchildren Diana, Julia, Madison, Kaitlyn, Sophia and Michael.   Her physical limitations never stopped her from doing many things that the able bodied could do.    She drove, she went to bingo, she babysat her grandchildren and she had baking skills second to none. Nonna Mary will always be remembered for her infamous canoli, filled cookies and tiramisu. Having people enjoy her treats always brought a smile to her eye. Maria & Michele spent countless charitable hours volunteering their sewing skills in order to make pillows, blankets, runners and other garments to sell at bazaars for those less fortunate. She now joins her beloved Michelino in heaven to continue their eternal love affair.

elevated 85yb3 In lieu of flowers, the family would like donations to be made to the York Region Alzheimer’s Society in her honour. This disease has been very personal to the Iamundo/Carrano family and bringing a cure to it would stand as a tribute and legacy for Maria and her parents.
