Obituary of Giuseppina Maggipinto

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Giuseppina Maggipinto on Christmas Day, 2007, in her 69th year, surrounded by her loving family. Giuseppina touched the hearts of many with her thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity. Her beautiful smile and caring and giving nature will always be remembered. She was a hard working woman who dedicated her life to family and friends and made it her priority to remember and celebrate all of their special occasions and events. While battling her cancer, Giuseppina’s strength and courage was an inspiration for all who were blessed to have known her Beloved wife of Paolo, precious mother and mother-in-law of Giovanni and his wife Marjory, and Michael and his wife Lorraine. She will be dearly missed by her grandchildren, Tony, Madeline, Gabriel and great granddaughter, Savannah. She is survived by seven brothers and sisters residing in Canada and Belgium, Carmela, Maria Antonietta, Giuseppe, Nicola, Assunta, Cristina and Amalia, all of who will miss her dearly.
