Francesca Lavecchia
June 1, 1918 - March 15, 2016
Scarborough — Francesca Lavecchia died Tuesday the 15th of March at Scarborough General Hospital. Born in 1918 in Capo D'Orlando, Sicily, Francesca lived in Italy until the late 1960s and then immigrated to the United States. She was both caregiver and breadwinner while working as a seamstress. In the late 1980s Francesca immigrated to Canada to live out her Golden years with her son and his family. Francesca loved cooking and socializing, enjoyed singing, swimming, praying and playing cards, and had a laugh that could fill up a room. She is survived by her husband Roberto; her children Anna Maria, Philip (Josephine) and Rosa (Pino); her grandchildren Francesca (Nick), Roberto (Natalie), Loredana (Pino) and Tania (Marco); and her great grandchildren Sandro and Cristina. She was very devout to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Toronto.
