Cesidia “Jessie” Carbone (nee Mascioli), age 82, passed away peacefully listening to the music of her faith with a family member by her side, on December 18, 2020.
Cesidia was born on January 25, 1938 in Cocullo, Italy to Giuseppe and Anna Mascioli (nee Panecaldo). Loving and devoted wife of Nicola Nando for 64 years. Wonderful mother to Lucy (Donald), John (Sherry-Lynn), Antonietta (Mark), Nick (Amy), and Dave (Diane), cherished Grandmother to Alex (Nicole), Jordan (Haley), Jaclyn, Mitchell, Elizabeth, Sophia, Cameron, Nicole and Hilary as well dear Great-Grandmother to Alex and Aaron.

Cesidia’s kind soul, and love for her family and God were her legacy. She proudly valued her Italian heritage and community which she shared with family, and also embraced her new Canadian way of life. After raising her family, Cesidia enjoyed various part-time jobs, and cherished the many friends she made with colleagues, and customers. Her favourite past-times were gardening, birds, yoga and cooking for the family. Mom enjoyed her time with friends and neighbours and her volunteer work with the M.S. Society. She appreciated many years of fellowship with the J.A.M. seniors social group of St. Jerome’s parish.

After years of serving others, Cesidia began a rapidly declining journey of dementia. She eventually needed to move into long term care at Faith Manor, Holland Christian Home. Our family wishes to thank the many staff, nurses, PSWs, and many volunteers from the Towers for providing the loving care mom received for the past 3 years.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Peel Alzheimer’s Society or the MS Society, is appreciated.
A private family service and interment will take place Monday, December, 28th at 11:00am.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
