It is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to Maria Siniscalco, a remarkable woman who touched the lives of all who knew her. Maria passed away Sunday, October 6, 2024 at Hill House Hospice. She was surrounded by loved ones and was taken peacefully by God.

Maria was a daughter to Domenico & Lucia. She was a devoted companion to her beloved Natale and a cherished sister and sister-in-law to Vincenzo (Tina), Ana (Franco), and Lina (Franco). As a mother, she nurtured two beautiful daughters, Theresa and Lucia, and as a grandmother, she brought joy to her three grandsons, Daniel (Dayna), Gianluca (Brigit), and Gabriel (Maria).". She was a proud great-grandmother to her sweet great-grandson, Mateo. Maria was also an aunt to Lucy, Domenic, Anthony, Patrick, Elizabeth, Milena, and Maria Louisa.

Maria understood the true meaning of family and friendship, always bringing loved ones together with her warmth and generosity. She was a voice of reason, knowing what to say to mediate conflicts and solve problems. Her thoughtful spirit and tenacity left a lasting impact on everyone around her. We will hold her memory close to our hearts and miss her dearly.

In lieu of flowers, Maria requested that donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Society and/or the SickKids Foundation. We also wish to support Hill House Hospice for their compassionate care during Maria’s final days.

È con il cuore pesante che diciamo addio a Maria Siniscalco, una donna straordinaria che ha toccato la vita di tutti coloro che la conoscevano. Maria è morta domenica 6 ottobre 2024 all'Hill House Hospice. Era circondata dai propri cari e fu presa pacificamente da Dio.

Maria era una figlia di Domenico e Lucia. Era una devota compagna del suo amato Natale e un'amata sorella e cognata di Vincenzo (Tina), Ana (Franco) e Lina (Franco). Come madre ha allevato due bellissime figlie, Teresa e Lucia, e come nonna ha portato gioia ai suoi tre nipoti, Daniele (Dayna), Gianluca (Brigit) e Gabriele (Maria). Era una bisnonna orgogliosa del suo dolce pronipote, Mateo. Maria era anche una zia di Lucy, Domenic, Anthony, Patrick, Elizabeth, Milena e Maria Louisa.

Maria capì il vero significato della famiglia e dell'amicizia, riunendo sempre le persone care con il suo calore e la sua generosità. Era una voce della ragione, sapeva cosa dire per mediare i conflitti e risolvere i problemi. Il suo spirito premuroso e la sua tenacia hanno lasciato un impatto duraturo su tutti coloro che la circondavano. Terremo il suo ricordo vicino ai nostri cuori e ci mancherà moltissimo.

Al posto dei fiori, Maria ha chiesto che fossero fatte donazioni alla Canadian Cancer Society e/o alla SickKids Foundation. Desideriamo anche sostenere l’Hill House Hospice per le sue cure compassionevoli durante gli ultimi giorni di Maria.
