With great respect for her life and sadness at our loss, the family of Antonia (Anna) Zarrillo aged 91 years, announces her passing on November 10, 2016. Anna will be lovingly remembered by her six children; Giuseppina DiStasio, Rocco, Andrea (Anna), Maria, Tony (Helen) and Diana Bohun (Tim). Along with grandchildren, Matteo, Tony, Andrea, Tara, Vincent, Adam, Cole, Andrew, Lukas, Rachel and Maria and great grandchildren, Justina, Tianna, Dominick, Kevin, Hawksley, Emily, Liam, Hayden and Enzo. She will be greatly missed by sisters, Maria Costantini (Angelo) of Colleferro, Italy, Rosa Zarrillo (Vincenzo) of Montivideo, Uruguay and Maria Carmela Tagliaferri of Winnipeg, along with brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws, many nieces and nephews in Italy, Uruguay, upstate New York and here in Canada.

Anna was born in Balvano, Italy, and was from a family of 11 children, being the 5th child to Maria Iaquinta and Carmine Zarrillo. She was predeceased by her parents, her in-laws, 5 brothers and 2 sisters, along with many brother and sister in laws. In 1976, she was predeceased by her beloved husband Vincenzo Zarrillo, in 1999 daughter-in-law Sheila Zarrillo and in 2000, son-in-law Gerardo DiStasio.

Anna married Vincenzo Zarrillo in 1941. In 1955, she immigrated to Canada with their three children (Giuseppina, Rocco and Andrea), joining Vincenzo who immigrated after World War 2 and was able to sponsor his wife and children and they settled into Winnipeg. Winnipeg blessed them with three more children, Maria, Tony and Diana.

We are mindful of our good fortune to have had our Mom with us for so many good years. Grateful is an understatement. She taught all of us so much by her words, wisdom and deeds.

Special thanks to the staff at Irene Baron Eden Centre where our mother spent her last two years, and to the caring teams at both Seven Oaks and Concordia Hospital.

Donations are gratefully accepted either to the Alzheimer’s Society of Manitoba or to a fund of your choice in her memory
