elevated sXlJZ Obituary
elevated sXlJZ 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 sXlJZ 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.

Our deepest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. Maria was such a beautiful and talented lady. We still have pillows and runners that she made for us. May she rest in peace. . “A mom’s hug lasts long after she lets go.”
Maria;
Many of us may feel that it was not yet your time to leave us but GOD had other plans for you….HE wanted you by His side, next to Michelino, uncle Frank and aunt Angela , to continue to watch over your children and your grandchildren from Above.
He thought that it was time to stop the suffering and grant you the eternal peace you deserve.
My deepest condolences to the entire Carrano family. I have many fond memories of the Comare when my grandparents lived on Buckland. May she rest in eternal peace and dance amongst the angels. She will be missed.

With deepest sympathy to the Carrano family.

Dear Pat, Angela & family,
Today was another difficult day that you’ve had to endure over the last 2 years. I have been praying for you all for the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I am very sorry that Mary’s life on earth had to end this way and that you’ve had to see fade away in the last few years.
Your mother and father accepted Christ in their lives and continued his mission and work, day in and day out. As father Claudio mentioned they have earned their place in the Kingdom of God.
You’ve captured and sealed wonderful memories that will help you through the next several days, and months ahead. Their legacy will live on through you and their grandchildren.
The eulogy today was accurate, and a beautiful tribute to your amazing mother and “power couple.” They have definitely earned their rest from their life’s work here on earth and secured their place in heaven too. God Bless you all.
Our deepest condolences on the passing of your loving Mother, Pat and Angela. Our prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
