<div itemprop="description"> <p> <strong> Biasi, Pia Olga <br /> </strong> <br /> Passed away at the age of 89 on August 6th, 2012 at North York General Hospital surrounded by her beloved family.&nbsp; Predeceased by her husband Romeo, and sons Silvano, Corrado, and Lorenzo.&nbsp; She will be sadly missed by her daughters Franca and Wilma (Dino), son Stefan (Heather), daughter-in- laws (Suzanne and Alana), 10 grandchildren (Johnny, Cheryl, Lisa, Trevor, Craig, Garrett, Jasmine, Lily, Giancarlo, Holly), and 5 great grandchildren (Tyler, Dylan, Robin, Ryan, Reid).&nbsp; Pia married Romeo in 1943 and bore 4 children in Italy before making the difficult decision to move to Canada for a chance at a better life.&nbsp; With Romeo establishing himself in Toronto the year before, Pia travelled 14 days by ship across the Atlantic with her young children in 1955 to reunite the family. Through hard work and determination they carved out a wonderful life, and added 2 more children in Canada. They developed a huge network of great friends, many through the creation of the San Marco Veneto Club.&nbsp; Pia always loved her Sunday afternoon card games with friends at the Club, and continued to attend right up to the week of her passing. <br /> <br /> Friends may call at YORK CEMETERY &amp; VISITATION CENTRE, 160 Beecroft Rd., North York (north of Sheppard Ave., west of Yonge St., 416-221-3404) on Friday August 10th from 2-4 &amp; 7-9 pm, and Saturday, August 11th, from&nbsp; 9 &ndash; 10 am, followed by the Funeral Service in the Chapel.
