Elsa Mariana Giacomel passed away peacefully on September 26, 2022 at the age of 93. She is now reunited with her beloved husband, Rizieri, and her brother, Carlo. She is forever cherished by her sons, Sergio and Lorenzo, her grandchildren, Natalia (Arthur), Laura, Diego, and Angela, and her great-granddaughters, Avelina and Celeste. She will be deeply missed by many nieces and nephews and by her sisters and extended family abroad.

While we are saddened by her loss, Elsa would ask that we take some time to mourn, but that we do not dwell on her passing. Rather, we should continue to rejoice in the river of life that surrounds us - 'Todo pasa' (This too shall pass), as she would remind us.

Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Philip Neri Parish (2100 Jane Street, Toronto, Ontario) on Friday, September 30th, 2022 at 10 a.m. Entombment to follow at Westminster Cemetery (5830 Bathurst Street, Toronto, Ontario).
