CIOTTI, Rossana Ciotti

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that the family of Rossana Tiziana Ciotti (Quatrini) announces her sudden passing on Thursday, December 25, 2025 in her 61st year. Beloved wife of 31 wonderful years to Paul Ciotti whom she loved and adored dearly. Precious mother of Claudia (Ryan), and Luca (Olivia) whom she treasured immensely and proud nonna to Leo.
Predeceased by her parents Domenico (Maria Giorgi) Quatrini and her in-laws Leonardo (Anna Domenica Trignani) Ciotti. Cherished by her sister Pina Quatrini and brother Mauro Quatrini. Profoundly loved, admired, and adored by her many in-laws, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins both in Canada and in Italy.
Rossana was born July 9, 1964 in Rome, Italy with her parents and siblings. At 3 years old, Rossana and her family immigrated to Canada, settling in Leamington, ON where she spent most of her adolescence. Later, Rossana moved to Brantford, ON and it was there that she met her loving husband, Paul. Together they built a cherished life raising two beautiful children who Rossana adored beyond measure. She was later blessed with an amazing grandson who became her entire world. Rossana and Paul made their home in Brantford, ON where they created a life centered around family and love.
Rossana loved nothing more than gathering with her family, spending time in the kitchen cooking and sharing her love through food. Her homemade pasta and suppli were her signature dishes – comforting favourites that everyone craved. She found immense joy watching her children, along with her friends and family together – laughing, singing, and filling the room with happiness. As her children grew older and moved into their own homes, Rossana cherished the quieter moments enjoying her morning coffee with her husband and dearest friends turned into chosen family, Katherine and Jim, and taking peaceful walks with her dog, Benji.
Rossana dedicated many years of service working at both Scotiabank and RBC and was known for her selfless heart, always thinking of others. She generously supported her favourite charities and quietly helped families in need within her community. Ultimately, Rossana was the epitome of what unconditional love and benevolence resembles. She devoted 61 years of her life to showering every person she met with love, a kind hearted smile, and an infectious laugh. Rossana left an indelible mark on everyone she met through her selfless and compassionate heart. Her legacy will forever be engraved in our hearts, and her love will continue to shine through our unconditional love and remembrance of her.
Family will be received at McCleister Funeral Home, 495 Park Rd N, Brantford for a private and intimate service in her honour. In lieu of flowers, donations are greatly appreciated to the Hamilton McMaster Sick Kids Foundation or the Canadian Heart & Stroke Foundation.
