PAPA, Ida (Di Matteo) - Loved by her family, Ida passed away peacefully in the evening of Thursday, October 29, 2020.
She will be missed dearly by her loving family and friends.
The cherished mother of her daughter Maddalena is now reunited with her predeceased family, son Michele and husband Antonio.
Born in Silvi Paese, Abruzzo Italy, Ida immigrated to Canada at the age of 34 with her husband and two children. Ida was proud of her Italian heritage. She often spoke of her life in France and in Italy, so that we would understand her history.
Despite the struggles Ida and her husband had coming to Canada, she continued to be strong, smile and make others share her laughter. She loved telling her family stories and teaching us family life lessons.
Her daughter, son in law Giuseppe, as well as her grandchildren Nino, Rob, Ashley, Giuliano and her in laws Linda, Mario and Angela and her great grandchildren Michael, Joseph and Ava will forever hold her in their hearts.
Arrangements with Bernardo Funeral Home, Dufferin Chapel, Toronto. Funeral mass will be celebrated at St. Thomas Aquinas Church, 640 Glenholme Ave., Toronto on Monday, November 2, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. A private entombment will follow.
