elevated uYrJv It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Rachele Arduini (nee Mastronardi) on July 26, 2022, while surrounded by her loved ones at Runnymede Healthcare Centre after 95 incredible years of life.

elevated uYrJv Born January 1, 1927, in Torrice, Frosinone, Italy. Beloved wife of Sisto Arduini (predeceased), A loving mother to her five children Salvatore (Maria), Rosanna (Joe Renda), Angela (Joe Leone), Ernesto (Mary) and Michael (Rosalind). A proud and devoted Nonna to Diana (Sergio Roccini), Sandra, Adriano (Deanna), Melissa, Robert, Rachel (Franco), Rosemary (Daniel), Domenic, Matthew, Lauren, and Emilina. Proud great-grandmother to Anthony, Simona, Gianluca, Giuliana, Kate, Giada, Luke, and Allie. She was a sister to 6, aunt, godmother, and adored friend to many.

elevated uYrJv Rachele was an independent, strong, and profoundly caring woman throughout her life. She arrived in 1961 at Pier 21 Halifax Canada by boat with four children in tow to give her family a better life; a true inspiration to us all.

elevated uYrJv We will remember the beautiful memories that we shared and will love her always. The family would like to extend a thank you to the medical staff at Runnymede Healthcare Centre for the special care and compassion they’ve shown Rachele in her final days.
