FRANCESCUTTO, Bruna - A long-time resident of Toronto, died the morning of Tuesday, October 29, 2019 at the Harold and Grace Baker Centre.
Born in 1934, in Savorgnano, Pordenone, Italy, to Maria and Francesco “cechi” Brovedani, Bruna grew up alongside her four sisters, Rina, Giovanna, Angela and Petronilla and her brother, Renato. In her late teens, Bruna naturally took to working in a nursing home caring for patients in her home town.
In 1955, Bruna met Aldo Francescutto. On February 1st, 1958 she married Aldo in Savorngano, San Vito al Tagliamento. That same year Bruna and Aldo arrived in Canada. For the next fifty-five years Bruna had worked as a domestic and helped nourish her family’s growth. By the mid-1970’s Bruna became a Canadian citizen.
Bruna was a person of strong faith, extremely gentle-hearted, highly sympathetic, loved the company of others and always honored her loved ones on their birthday. She had a wonderful smile that often lit up a room.
She is survived by her husband, Aldo, her sons, Robert and Edy, her daughters-in-law, Miriam and Erin, and grandchildren, Oliver and Spencer; all of whom brought her much joy in her later years.
