DI CECCO, Mirca Vannucci - Passed away peacefully at Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, at the age of 98, on December 4, 2020.
Beloved wife of Salvatore Di Cecco for over 43 years until his sudden passing on June 17, 1985.
She was also predeceased by her son Lorenzo in 2017 and her grandson Samuel Sorbara in 1972.
She is survived by her daughter Anna Maria Braithwaite, son-in-law William Braithwaite, grandson, Paul Sorbara, granddaughter-in-law Isabelle Sorbara, daughter-in-law Raffaella De Pasquale Di Cecco, granddaughter Alessia Di Cecco Goulding, grandson-in-law, Justin Goulding, great-grandchildren Dante and Allegra Goulding, her son Alessandro, daughter-in-law Catherine O’Halloran, grand-daughter Mary Kathleen and grandson Conor O’Halloran Di Cecco.
Mirca was born in Mantova, Italy, on April 19, 1922. She was a devoted partner of her husband Salvatore in all their joint endeavours including their pasta factories in the Republic of San Marino, Modena, and Rome, Italy, and, later, in Canada, a restaurant with banquet halls and later industrial pasta machinery sales in North and Central America. Mirca was proud of her role in the work force alongside her husband from the 1940s through the mid-1980s.
Special thanks go to her devoted caregivers, especially Esmee Pinlac, Arlene Casilla, and Remy Patawaran for their years of patient and affectionate help, first in her home where she remained until the age of 97, and then at Belmont House, Toronto. The family also thanks the dedicated staff of Belmont House for making her final few years at Belmont comfortable and safe, and the wonderful team of doctors and nurses at Mount Sinai Hospital who took great care of Mirca in her final days.
The family thanks all of Mirca’s friends for their expressions of sympathy and fond regards for Mirca.
A private family service of Christian Burial will be held on Monday December 7, 2020 with burial to follow.
In lieu of flowers, a donation in her memory to Belmont House, Toronto or Mount Sinai Hospital would be greatly appreciated by the family.
