PUNZO, Angela Punzo - March 1, 1946 – February 4, 2022
Passed away in her home in Whitby on February 4, 2022, just one month shy of her 76th birthday.
After a long and courageous battle for over two years with stage 4 Pancreatic cancer, she redefined what it meant to have strength, bravery, and determination.
She faced the unfair hand that she was dealt with selflessness, never complaining and always continued to set an example of fortitude, as she has throughout her whole life, trying to minimize the pain and suffering on her family, through her fight through 22 rounds of chemotherapy.
Born March 1, 1946 in the small town of Bitetto, Bari, Italy she made the long journey to Canada in 1960, landing in Halifax with her mother and sister, at the age of 14.
