“The mother is the heart of the family, and her love is the force that holds everything together.”
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Beatrice, who left us peacefully, surrounded by her loving family,
at the Sault Area Hospital on Friday, February 21, 2025. She is now reunited in Heaven with her beloved husband, Settimio,
of 54 wonderful years.
Dear cherished mother of Joe (Joanne) and Mike (Caroline) of London. Treasured Nonna of Julia, Josie (fiancé Robert),
Matthew, and Daniel of London. She was the daughter of the late Michele and the late Adelina Giglio (Filosa) of Italy and
daughter-in-law of the late Giuseppe and the late Peppina Mancuso (Caruso) of Italy. Beatrice will be fondly remembered
by her brothers, late Antonio Giglio (Elvira) of Italy and Peppino Giglio (friend Tina), as well as many extended family
members, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Beatrice was born June 12, 1930, in Paterno Calabro, Italy. She built a life of love and kindness,
