(nee Capannelli) – April 8, 1934
With her boys by her side, Giustina passed away peacefully on August 13, 2014 in her 81st year. She will be greatly missed by her sons Frank (Rosanne), Angelo, and Rob (Fiona). Giustina was the much loved "Nonna Bella" to the well fed Christopher, Austin, Madison and Alexandra. Giustina joins her beloved husband Guglielmo, her parents Giuseppina and Angelo, and her late brothers from Ascoli Piceno, Italy. She will be dearly missed by her eldest brother Pietro (Natalina) and sister-in-laws Maria (Ercole) and Marianne (Domenic). She was also sister-in-law to Angelina (the late Michael), Vito (the late Francesca), Pasqualina and Nick (Elisa). Her many nieces and nephews will miss their Zia Giustina as well as many friends in Oakville, including those who worked with her at General Electric for over 25 years. Giustina was a beautiful, caring woman with a big heart. She always greeted everyone she met with a hug and a kiss and the question "Did you eat?". She was a very proud and generous woman whose biggest pleasures were her grandchildren and sharing espresso and (competitively) playing Scopa and Briscola with family and friends. She loved to cook for her family and anyone who stopped by her house and she cherished all the times she made her legendary lasagna, stuffed olives and Italian cookies with her sister-in-laws and close friends. A special thank you to all the caring staff at Oakville Trafalgar Hospital. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or The Oakville Hospital Foundation.
