elevated z2c4c Obituary
It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Maria Turco (nee Sacchetta), at the age of 85 on Saturday, September 24, 2022.  Beloved wife of Francesco Turco.  Cherished mother of Giovanni (Angela) and Aldo (Ana).  Beloved and caring Nonna of Deanna, Alexandra (Brandon), David and Olivia.  Proudest Bis-Nonna of Joshua.  Maria will forever be fondly remembered by all that knew her and especially by her family and closest friends.

elevated z2c4c Maria was born on May 20th, 1937 in Paterno, Calabro, Italy.  Loving daughter of the late Salvatore and Rosina Sacchetta.

elevated z2c4c Maria emigrated to Canada in 1967 along with her husband Francesco and sons Giovanni and Aldo.  Maria had a warm and welcoming heart.  She looked forward to the holidays and family gatherings.  Maria lovingly prepared family feasts making her famous lasagna or cannelloni to the delight of her grandkids.

elevated z2c4c Maria kept many of the traditions from back home, like the annual making of tomato sauce, and when the weather got cold it was time to make sausage, capicollo, and prosciutto.  Moments like these, having her children, grandchildren and the extended family together brought Maria so much joy.  Her warm embrace, love of family, and kindness of heart will be forever missed.

elevated z2c4c As an expression of sympathy donations to SickKids Foundation, in memory of Maria would be greatly appreciated by the family.
