<div itemprop="description">In Loving Memory of Gina Mangoni (née Fagiani) <br> <br>March 16th, 1932 – October 2nd, 2025 <br> <br>With hearts full of love and gratitude, we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved Gina Mangoni, at the age of 93, on October 2nd, 2025, surrounded by her children and grandchildren. <br> <br>Born in Gubbio, Italy in 1932, she survived the Second World War as a young woman and later immigrated to Montreal in 1959 with her beloved husband Fausto, to start a family and a new life. <br> <br>A proud and vibrant Italian matriarch, she lived a long, joyful life surrounded by the warmth of family. Gina raised two sons and became “Nonna” to 5 grandsons. Her home-cooked meals and the warmth of her presence were her signature trademarks. Her homemade gnocchi, lasagna, tomato sauce and trademark hand-knitted slippers will be remembered by many. <br> <br>Gina was the quiet strength of the family – never demanding attention, but always watching, supporting and loving. <br> <br>She is survived by her sons Joe (Diana) and John (Denise) and 5 grandsons Mitchell, Michael, David, Martin and Paul, who loved her and will miss her dearly. <br> <br>She is reunited with her husband Fausto, her four sisters Giuditta, Orlanda, Emilia and Italia and her brother Gugliemmo. <br> <br>A celebration of life will be held at Rideau Funeral Home (4239 Sources Blvd, DDO) from 6-9 p.m. on Wednesday, October 8th, with a funeral mass on Thursday, October 9th at 9:30 a.m. All are welcome. <br> <br></div>
