Passed peacefully on July 9 ,2021.  Devoted wife of the late Michele Napolitano and loving Mother of Tony (Kathleen) Antonio,Olivia,Rachel,Marie,Kathleen,Antoinette,Gemma,Joseph,Lucia,Matteo.Lucy (Napolitano) Marwick (Dan) Daniel, Mathew. Nancy(Napolitano) Tassone (Joe) Nicholas, Alyssa. Michael(Anne-Marie) Michele, Nicole. Loving great Grandmother of Sophia, Dominic, Lylah. She was born in San Marco in Lamis, Foggia Italy and came to Canada in 1959 and married Michele Napolitano. She raised 4 children who will be forever grateful for the sacrifices she made. She had an unbelievable passion for cooking and baking and was able to prepare a 5 course meal within hours. Over time Dad had to keep extending the small table downstairs to accommodate the ever-growing family and what became known as "Sunday 1 o'clock " tradition. She always made more food than expected just in case extras showed up and that invitation was extended to everyone. She was extremely hardworking and provided us with a great example of that. She had a love for her garden and it wasn't unusual to find her late at night picking fresh vegetables for her Sunday sauce  which was the most amazing thing one could ever taste the expression holds true for that " often imitated  but never duplicated ". She will be missed sadly by all and we pray that she may enjoy the peace and glory of everlasting life in Heaven. We would like to thank the St.Catharines General Hospital especially the Doctors and all the staff on the 5th. floor for their support and guidance. A special Thank You to Dr. Al-Baldawi for her kind care and guidance and to each and every Staff member at Extendicare Pelham road for their unwavering support through this unprecedented  and difficult time and yes our wish was fulfilled to make it as comfortable as you can for her.
