With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Filomena Maria Di Nucci on Monday, February 16, 2026. Filomena passed peacefully surrounded by her family, now reunited in heaven with her husband Nicola.
Filomena, a loving mother to Leonardo (Maria Domenica), Gabriele (Nadia), and Nadia (David). Nonna to Jessica (Vahe), Erica (Tufan), Claudia, Alexander, Stephanie (Daniel), Oriana, Alissia (Joseph) and Paolo. Bisnonna to Joseph, Victor and Thomas. Beloved sister to Anna, Giusto and Rosemarie Pace. Filomena will be fondly remembered by her many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
She devoted her life to caring for her family, who were always at the center of her world. A loyal friend, Filomena was generous with her time and gave more than expected. Through food she nurtured everyone around her, whether a Sunday lunch or holiday meal, believing that no one should leave her table hungry.
Through a desire to stay connected to loved ones, she embraced technology with ease. Her cherished tablet was never far from reach, and through calls and messages she kept everyone just a little closer. In person, she showed that same warmth through her familiar cheek squeezes and tight, heartfelt hugs.
Filomena faced life’s challenges with courage and determination. A cancer survivor, Filomena overcame her diagnosis with resiliency and an unwavering zest for life and emerged even stronger.
A catalyst for a strong-willed woman, Filomena led by example. She encouraged her granddaughters to be confident and strive to be their best selves. To her grandsons, she offered gentle guidance and nurtured them with a soft heart.
Filomena will be deeply missed by all who knew her, and her legacy of love, laughter, and togetherness will live on in her family and friends.
If desired, donations can be made to the Humber River Health Foundation in support of cancer care or the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
