Together, Elisa and Mario worked very hard to build a better life for themselves and their family in their new country. Elisa was employed as a seamstress and spent many years as Forelady at Modern Headwear, retiring in 1999. Elisa took great pride in her home and her garden. She enjoyed entertaining her family and friends. She and Mario loved their annual holiday in Hawaii where they would enjoy time with friends and make new ones. Elisa possessed many fine qualities. She was a strong person, both emotionally and physically and was always willing to help others in any way she could. She was a loving mother and always took pride in her children's accomplishments. One of her greatest joys in life was being Nonna to her grandchildren Carina and Bryce, of whom she was very proud. She will be greatly missed. The family would like to thank the staff in the Palliative Care Unit at St. Boniface Hospital for their kind and compassionate caring of Elisa in her final days and their kindness towards the family during this difficult time. Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Monday, August 18, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. at Holy Rosary Church, 510 River Avenue, with Father Sam Argenziano celebrating.
