CASAGRANDE, Angela (Severin) Casagrande Obituary

CASAGRANDE, Angela (Severin) – Passed away at the Greater Niagara General Hospital in her 97th year on December 9, 2015.

Angela was the beloved wife of the late Nicola (Nick) (2007); mother of Bruno (Annarosa), Teresa Pierre, Virginia McGarry, Mary Eve (Richard), and Joe; grandmother of Rachel McGarry (Adam Wilkinson), Jennifer Michiels (Ted), Tanya Pierre-Colangelo (Marc), Daniel Pierre, Lance Casagrande (Kim) and Travis Casagrande, and great grandmother of the late Kevin Casagrande (December 4, 2015).

Born in 1919 to Teresa (Berlese) and Antonio Severin in Paese, Treviso, Italy, Angela was the youngest of 18 children. Before her marriage she worked as a governess, housekeeper, and munitions factory worker. She and Nick enjoyed 64 years of marriage, first emigrating to France and then to Canada. Angela devoted herself to her family and home.

After raising her children, she took great pleasure in being a Red Cross Home Care Worker for several years, caring for the sick and the elderly. She enjoyed handicrafts and maintained a vegetable garden until age 90. Over the years, Angela was a member of St. Ann’s, St. Patrick’s and Our Lady of Scapular Churches.

In recent years, Angela enjoyed visits from family and friends, reminiscing about her life experiences, feeding the ducks and geese at Dufferin Islands, having coffee at Tim Hortons, enjoying the company of her cat Mimi, playing cards, rereading favourite books, making braid-covered clothes hangers, and picking out just the right brooch to wear with every outfit.

Mamma/Nonna, we will always love you. You will remain in our hearts forever.

A private funeral and burial has already taken place. A memorial Mass will take place at St. Patrick’s Church on Tuesday, January 12 at 1:00 pm.
