Teresina Bivi

Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024

BIVI, Augusta Teresina passed away peacefully on December 3, 2024, surrounded by her family at Lakeridge Hospital in Oshawa, in her 96th year.

Predeceased by her beloved husband Pietro, parents Vergiglio and Maria, and siblings Guillelma, Anna, Elsa, Maria, and Mario. She is survived by her last remaining sibling, Lino, back home in Italy.

She is the adored mother of Anna (Don) Smith, and Franco, Luigi, and Laura Bivi; as well as devoted Nonna to Sarah (Corey) Warren, Allison (Abel) Torres Smith, Marisa Bivi, and Trevor Bivi; and proud Bisnonna to Jordi Torres Smith and Mason Warren.

Teresina was extremely proud of the many years she worked as a lunchroom and yard supervisor at the Duke of Edinburgh Public School, where she was respected and appreciated by staff and students alike.

She was a keen follower of the Oshawa Generals and Juventus in the Italian soccer league. She loved playing card games, particularly briscola, where her joy was in the game and the company rather than the result. Her daily walks with Laura and her participation in the Adult Day Program at Hillsdale Estates brought her immense pleasure.

In all her actions and words, Teresina was the exemplar of selfless motherhood.

Visitation will be private among Teresina's immediate family. Her funeral will be held on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, at 1:15 pm at St. Gertrude's Roman Catholic Church at 690 King St. E. in Oshawa, followed by interment at Resurrection Cemetery in Whitby.

Teresina requested that any charitable donations should be made either to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the St. Gertrude's Church Renovation Fund.

Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at Armstrong Funeral Home.
