Obituary of CONTE – Luisa Donata

September 24, 1919 – January 19, 2011 With much sadness we announce the peaceful passing of our mother, nonna and great nonna Luisa, on January 19th, 2011, at the age of 91 years. Luisa was born on September 24, 1919 in Arce, Frosinone, Italy. She was raised in the small community of St. Eleuterio and it was here she met and married her husband Rocco. In 1949, after the birth of their two sons, Luisa and Rocco immigrated to Canada and made their home in Calgary where their daughter was born. Luisa’s greatest joys were her family and friends. She was a wonderful cook and no one ever left her home hungry. She was especially known for her pasta sauce and pastries. Luisa will be lovingly remembered by her sons Larry (Peggy), and Frank (Rosalina) and by her daughter Rita (Greg) Bellotto; her grandchildren, Shawn Conte, Jennifer Philcox, Dean and David Bellotto, Michael and Elissa Conte; and eight great grandchildren; her sister-in-law Anna DeSantis, Arce, Italy and many nieces and nephews in Calgary and Italy.
