She was born in Zumbano, Italy on July 17, 1920. She married the love of her life, Mario Litrenta in 1950 and joined him in Canada in 1956 with their 4 year old daughter Teresa to begin a new life together. She spent the rest of her life dedicated to taking care of her family, enjoying her friends and being part of the Italian community.
For many years she was a very active member of the Italian Hall Ladies Auxiliary on Algoma Street. She especially loved spending time with her granddaughter Justine and had many talents such as gardening and sewing, to name a few.
She is survived by her loving husband Mario; daughter Terri Renaud (Don); granddaughter Justine Doughty (Jason); sisters-in-law Emily Marozzo and Josephine Litrenta; niece Rose Robinson (Errol) and nephew Gino Marozzo (Geraldine) and numerous nieces and nephews in Italy.
