Santa was a quiet, caring, devout person happy to be in her home surrounded by family. Born in southern Italy she married and followed her heart to Canada where she made a home and lovingly raised her family with her husband Tommaso. She made the perfect tomato sauce, fritelle, crostoli, pitule and many more foods from southern Italy. She liked her vegetable garden and massive San Marzano tomatoes, Cicoria, Rapini and lampascioni that she grew annually. She enjoyed her final years at Chartwell Retirement home experiencing many new activities and making new friends. She loved to play and win at Bingo and rarely missed the morning exercise class.
