<div itemprop="description">C’est avec une immense tristesse que nous annonçons le décès d’Annette Calabrese, survenu le dimanche 20 mars 2022, à l’âge de 91 ans. <br> <br>Elle laisse dans le deuil ses enfants Dominique (Andrée), Robert (Jeanne) et Patricia (Jacques), ses chers petits-enfants Catherine (Soulman), Stéphanie (Ian), Matthew (Maude), Francesca et Éric (Maria) et ses précieux arrière-petits-enfants Luca, Sophia et Adam. <br> <br>Annette était une femme forte, indépendante, intelligente et avide de connaissances. Même à un âge avancé, elle a appris à utiliser la technologie moderne. Elle était une femme d’affaire et une entrepreneure à une époque où cela était réservé aux hommes. Elle a travaillé jusqu’à l’âge de 75 ans. <br> <br>Pour Annette, rien n’était plus important que ses enfants, ses petits-enfants et ses arrière-petits-enfants. Elle gardait proche contact avec eux. Elle était l’unité familiale, s’assurant de rassembler tout le monde et de transmettre les traditions familiales. <br> <br>Elle nous manquera tous profondément. <br> <br>Sa famille accueillera parents et amis à la maison funéraire Rideau le vendredi 1er avril de 14h à 17h et de 19h à 21h ainsi que le samedi 2 avril de 10h à 11h, suivi de la cérémonie en chapelle. <br> <br>En sa mémoire, des dons à la société canadienne du cancer seraient grandement appréciés. <br> <br>~~~~ <br> <br>It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Annette Calabrese, on Sunday, March 20st, 2022 at the age of 91. <br> <br>She will be greatly missed by her loving children Dominique (Andrée), Robert (Jeanne) and Patricia (Jacques), her cherished grandchildren Catherine (Soulman), Stéphanie (Ian), Matthew (Maude), Francesca and Éric (Maria) and by her precious great grandchildren Luca, Sophia and Adam. <br> <br>Annette was a strong, independent and intelligent woman who continuously wanted to learn. Even at an older age, she learned to use modern technology. She was a business woman, at a time where it was reserved for men. She worked until she reached her 75th year. <br> <br>For Annette, nothing mattered more than her children, her grandchildren and her great grandchildren. She kept close contact with them. She united the family, making sure to gather everyone and to pass down family traditions. <br> <br>We will all miss her so much. <br> <br>Visitation will take place at Rideau Funeral Home on Friday, April 1st from 2 pm to 5 pm and from 7 pm to 9 pm as well as Saturday, April 2nd from 10 am to 11 am followed by the ceremony in the chapel. <br> <br>In her memory, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated. <br></div>
