elevated OQ8cD Obituary
It is with great sadness and much love that we announce the peaceful passing of our dear mother, Maria Formusa, in Richmond Hill, surrounded by the love of her family. Maria was born in Termini Imerese, Sicily, to the late Calogero and Maria Zuccaro. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Giacomo Formusa and her brother Salvatore (Dorotea). Maria was a loving mother to Salvatore (Mary), Gino (Laura), and Rose Marie (Anthony) Cusimano. She was a cherished Nonna to Adriana (Michael), Rosemary, James (Daniella), Michael (Caitlin), Christopher (Jordana), and Nicholas. She was also an adored Big Nonna to Luca, Matthew, Emilia, and Michael Jr. Maria will be lovingly remembered by her cousins, nieces and nephews. She will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her. The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to their mother’s caregiver, Anna, as well as Marlyn and Marilyn for their compassion and dedication. We also wish to thank the staff at Sunrise Nursing Home for their care and support. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society, Heart & Stroke Foundation, or to Blessed Trinity Parish.

Caro Sal e Mary
We are with you in this moment of sadness and in many ways rejoicing a life of 99 years completed with a beautiful family to carry on the traditions the love of family and friends handed down for the next 99 years in the lives of the Formusa and extended families offspring.
She will always be in all of you in more ways than you can imagine and demonstrated daily in the lives of her Nipotini.
Un abbraccio 🫂🫂

Thank you Don and Carmela for your kind thoughts and wishes.
John and Laura: 99 years is a good run of love, laughs and witnessing the development of a family that all are proud! Remember meeting your “Ma” at the Badali ‘Manse’ one New Year’s Eve a number of years ago. She was pleased to be among the revellers. She is in my prayers.
Laura and John and family Our deepest condolences to all of you for your loss
She was always so kind and friendly to us
Our prayers are with all of you. May she rest in eternal peace
