Lucia Pillarella (nee Cirella)
September 27, 1933 – July 16, 2018

In loving memory of Lucia Pillarella. Daughter of Alessandro and Graziella Cirella both predeceased. Beloved wife of Michele Pillarella (predeceased in 1999). Devoted mother of Maria DeLuca (Marcello), Dominic (Rossana), Sandro (Nora), and Ida Zinn (Mark). Loving Nonna of Cristina, Marco, Sarah, Michael, Jenna, Shannon, Joseph, Madison, Michael and eighteen great-grandchildren. Sister of Maria Cirillo (Giovanni predeceased), Michele (predeceased) (Concetta), Carmine (Cenzina), Lina Beaulieu, Julia Giro, Francesco (predeceased) (Beverly). She will also be missed by many nieces and nephews.

A devout Roman Catholic, Lucia devoted many years to her family parish Holy Trinity. Even in the later stages of her ill health, she loved to attend mass at St Joseph’s Villa.

She was a wonderful wife, mother and doting grandmother. There was nothing she wouldn’t do for her family.

Her strength of character is what sustained her these last few years and her dry wit continued to draw smiles even when her mind was beginning to fail.

The family wish to extend our sincere gratitude to the staff of St Joseph’s Villa. Their guidance, patience and love were evident in the care they bestowed on our mother.

In lieu of flowers donations to the Alzheimer’s Society Sudbury Manitoulin would be appreciated.
