elevated tMzpv It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Maria Maringola. Maria was predeceased her cherished husband of nearly 65 years, Armando. She is survived by their loving children Michael (Luisa), Mirella, Paul (Angie), and Peter.  Maria was also adored Nonna to Alexandra (Amir), Vanessa (Adam), and Matthew.

Maria will be fondly remembered by her many nieces, nephews and extended family.

elevated tMzpv Maria was born on September 22, 1934 in San Vincenzo La Costa Cosenza, Italy.  It is there that she met her adoring Armando, began courting him in 1951 and married him on January 8, 1956.  Armando and Maria immigrated to Toronto, Canada in May 1957 where they made a home for themselves and their children.  

elevated tMzpv Maria was a woman of tremendous courage, moving to a new country.  Without a formal education and without speaking a word of English, she worked very hard to support her husband and children, providing a beautiful home full of memories which we all cherish. Maria and Armando also enjoyed working in their vegetable garden and making improvements to their home.  Maria also loved making homemade pasta, sausage and tomato sauce for her family. She leaves behind an incredible legacy. She touched everyone she met with her gentle, kind soul and never wavered in her willingness to help anyone in need. Mama you are forever in the hearts.
