elevated 4zaIY Obituary
elevated 4zaIY It is with heavy hearts and great sorrow we announce the passing away of our beloved mother, nonna, and bisnonna, Paola Andreacchi, (nee Belfiore) on July 16, 2023 at the age of 100.
elevated 4zaIY Reunited in Heaven with her husband Omero, Paola will be sadly missed by her treasured children, Frank (Crocetta) and Ramona, and her cherished grandchildren Christopher (Tracy), Matthew (Jennifer), and Daniela (William), and great grandchildren, Adam and Casey.
elevated 4zaIY Paola, was born in the beautiful town of Vita, Prov. of Trapani, Sicily, Italy. She was the eldest sibling of her family yet was honoured to live her life the longest. She felt so humbled and blessed that she was able to reach her 100 year milestone! Her love, influence, wisdom, guidance and strength were continually felt and experienced by all who knew her. She loved God with a passion and made sure that everyone knew this. Her favorite things were gardening and making homemade bread. She was proud of her children and grandchildren and would continually boast about them and their accomplishments. She was a dedicated wife, mother to many, nonna, bisnonna, zia, cugina and friend and was loved and adored by all. Paola was a woman of class and distinction. She was selfless, charitable and always put others first. She faced every battle with courage and hope and was never one to give up. She was the last of a living legacy. This world is a better place because she lived. Our loss truly is Heaven’s gain. And until we meet again, she will be never be forgotten and always deeply loved.

Dear Ramona,
My deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved mother. She truly was a special lady and Mother Earth was blessed to have had her for 100 years. I will miss seeing her at Sherwood.
Thank you for your heartfelt sentiments Nadia! Yes, she was a special lady. Our family was blessed. Much love…
Dear Ramona (and the Andreacchi family)
Your mom’s zest for life and her determination have always been an inspiration for me. I will fondly remember her beautiful flower garden in Woodbridge.
You were blessed to have her with you for over a 100 years, and her legacy will forever live on.
My deepest condolences,
Pina
Pina, you have been a part of our lives for over 45 years! Thank you for all of your support and love. You are deeply imbedded in our hearts.
To my dearest second mother, friend and mentor, I remember back in time when we used to sit on the front porch and talk about life problems and you used to comfort me , advising me and telling me “I will pray for you. God will look after you and watch over you” and you were right. You also taught me a few ways to maintain my flowering plants. Now you left but I know you are watching over me from above. Thank you so much for all the times you were there when I needed you. Rest in peace in the hands of your loving God. In a better place where your reward is awaiting for you for all the good you have done on this earth. I will miss you a lot until we meet again. Your second son Nader and your gardening partner . Love you Paula ♥️♥️
Nader, for all the times and years you were not able to be with your mother or talk to her, my mother took you in like her own child. You had such a special relationship with her. I would look out the window, and there you were talking to her or I would see mom in your back yard working her green thumbs in your garden. You, and your beautiful wife Jocelyne, have always had a place in her heart. I’m so happy that you came to see mom one last time. Much love…
Dear Ramona: your message has deeply touched my heart. Yes your dear mother had a special place in my heart. My wife and I would love to keep in touch with you and always remember you have another brother who will always be there for you at any time and for anything you might need. I am sure your mom would have loved to see that friendship continue. Love Nader ( waiting to make you a coffee) and jocelyne who loves you too a lot💞
Dear Ramona
