Iride Pagani (née Battisti), September 28, 1921 - October 23, 2011
It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Iride Pagani, mom, nona, grandnona. Iride was born in Carpineto, Romano. She has gone to be with Francesco, her husband of 64 years. Iride will be sadly missed by her children: Alfonsa (Larry) Rumming, Dina Drummond, Nellie (Gord) Donas, Luisa Cullen, Massimo (Monica) Pagani; grandchildren Nyla, Jaclyn, Andrea, Bailey, Riley, Brant, Jeremy, Marisa, Dominic, Frances-Mae; great-grandchildren Brea and Ella; brothers Gulio and Elvezio in Italy, sister Amedea in Powell River, brother-in-law Jack in Powell River, sisters-in-law Maria in Powell River and Fiorina in Italy and numerous nieces and nephews. Iride was predeceased by her infant son Ludovico and son-in-law Gary Cullen.
Iride had a full and happy life and her main loves were her family and home. Her fabulous Italian cooking and recipes, love of nature and generous heart for family, friends and especially children will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
The family wishes to thank Dr. McDonald and all who gave their loving compassionate care to our mother. Prayers will be held on Friday, October 28 at 6:30 pm at the Church of the Assumption. Funeral services will be held on October 29 at 1:30 pm at the Church of the Assumption. Interment to follow at Cranberry Cemetery. Tea to follow at St. Joseph’s Hall.
