PASQUALE MARIANI It is with profound sadness the family announces the passing of Pasquale Mariani on Sunday, February 24, 2008 after a long and courageous battle. Pasquale will be greatly missed by his wife of 62 years, Rosa, children Incoronata (Cosimo) Zifarelli, Gerry (Marianne), Vince (Sherrie), Tony (Cathy), and Teresa; grandchildren Nicola (Jodi), Pasquale (Dawn), Roberto (Adrienne) and Rosanna Zifarelli, Felice, Anthony and Ryan Mariani, Chantel (Dave) Wiebe; great-grandchildren Luca, Aidan, Alexander and Yuri; nephew Gerardo (Assunta) Mariani and daughter Anna Lisa. Pasquale is also survived by his brother Vincenzo in Milan, Italy and many members of his extended family in Canada and abroad. Pasquale was born in Mura Lucano, Italy on February 20, 1926 to Gerardo and Antonia Mariani. In 1960, Pasquale moved his family to Canada in pursuit of a better life. After a brief stay in Red Lake, Ontario, the family moved to Winnipeg in 1963. Following a lengthy career in the construction industry, Pasquale retired to devote his time to his other passions of gardening and wine making. Pasquale and Rosa always had an abundance of fresh vegetables and wine to share with their family. Who would ever have thought you could grow a pear tree, a cherry tree and an apricot tree in Winnipeg. His wine making prowess was well known among his family and friends, recently winning top prize in a local Italian community celebration. A funeral mass will be held on Thursday, February 28, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. at the Holy Rosary Catholic Church, 510 River Avenue with Rev. Fr. Sam Argenziano celebrant. Entombment will follow in the Chapel of the Eternal Memories Mausoleum, 1501 Waverly Street. Pallbearers will be Nicola, Pasquale, Roberto and Rosanna Zifarelli, and Felice and Anthony Mariani. At this time of Lent, flowers are graciously declined. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation, 675 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3E 0V9 www.cancercare.mb.ca. The family is eternally grateful to the staff on the 3 North Ward at the Grace Hospital for the kindness, care and compassion they showed Pasquale and the family.
