FOGGIA, Flora Carmela Foggia

It is with profound love and cherished memories that we announce the peaceful passing of Flora Carmela Foggia on Friday, November 8, 2024, at the age of 89, in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Born on July 18, 1935, in Cosenza, Italy, Flora was the beloved daughter of the late Luisa and Pietro Masci, and the devoted wife of the late Settembrino “Peter” Foggia, with whom she shared 70 years of unwavering love and companionship.

Flora’s life was a tapestry woven with the threads of family, joy, and an indomitable spirit. Her legacy continues through her cherished children: Mary-Lou Smuczek (Stan), Lucy Kauppi (Robert), Anna, Silvana, Franca, Julie, and Peter. She also leaves behind her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who will carry forward her lessons of kindness and the importance of family.

Flora was the loving sister of Angelo Masci (late Gemma) of Sault Ste. Marie, Grace Tarsitano (Tony) of Montreal, Quebec, Fernando Masci (Tonina) of Italy, Jepino Masci of Italy, Rita Masci of Italy, and the late Maruzza Luzzi (late Biaggio) of Italy. She will also be remembered fondly by her in-laws, nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.

A woman of warmth and generosity, Flora was the epitome of selflessness. Her home was always open, her table always full, and her advice always wise. She had a spirited nature, bringing joy to every gathering and hope in every hardship. Flora’s hands were rarely still, as she tended to her roses and crafted meals that nourished both body and soul.

Heartfelt thanks are extended to the staff of the Ontario Finnish Resthome for their exceptional care. Your dedication and kindness made a significant difference in Flora’s life and provided comfort to her family.

Resting at O’Sullivan Funeral Home, where family and friends may visit on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, from 10am until the time of service in the chapel at 2pm. Burial to follow at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.
