Vincie’s obituary is being finalized which will be posted here in the next few days.

Vincie was born in Roccasecca, Italy, in her parents' home, who were hard-working people. She lived through World War II in a cave with her family, relatives, and friends. Vincenza had a gift of remembering dates and events. Vincenza had many stories of her life in Italy, and then her family moved to Toronto, Ontario.

She was very proud of her home town Roccasecca, which is a town and comune in the Province of Frosinone, in the Lazio region of central Italy. It is the birthplace of Thomas Aquinas.

She was very religious all her life and we will remember her strong points of view on many things.

Vincenza will be remembered fondly by all who knew her!
