Antonietta Busuttil
1937 – November 13, 2024
It is with great sadness and much love that we say goodbye to our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt, Antonietta Busuttil, who passed away peacefully on November 13, 2024, at the age of 87 years.
Antonietta was born in Andora, Italy in 1937 and, at age nine, voyaged to Venezuela with her family, spending ten formative years there. At age 19, she returned to Europe to work and travel, eventually meeting her husband, Victor, while studying in England. In 1964, she immigrated to Canada, where she continued her love of travel, staying connected with family and friends worldwide.
She worked in electronics assembly while raising her children in Bramalea, later moving to vibrant downtown Toronto. Known for her culinary talents, Antonietta learned to cook from her father, an international chef. Her greatest joy was simply being with people, helping others, and fostering connections with warmth and kindness.
Antonietta's resilience saw her through multiple battles with breast cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia. Despite her health struggles, she remained strong and caring until the end. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Victor, daughters Linda (Ralph) and Christine, grandchildren Sierra, Isaac, Ryan, Elena, and Naomi, her sister Mirella (Fausto), and numerous friends and relatives touched by her selfless spirit.
The family extends special thanks to the dedicated staff at St. Michael's Hospital Palliative Unit and Kensington Hospice for their compassionate care of Antonietta.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Antonietta’s memory can be made to Parkinson Canada or the Kensington Health Foundation.
A private family celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
