It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Vincenza Grande.

She was born December 17, 1930 in Casteselano, Italy and went to be with the Lord on July 12, 2012. She was a resident of Kamloops since 1960 and her passion was family. Vincenza loved to garden, cook, from home-made bread to the best tomato sauce and would spend her spare time doing beautiful needle work.

She is predeceased by her loving husband Vincenzo Grande, whom she missed dearly. Survived by her children Luigi (Sherry), Tommaso (Corrie), Serafina and her grandchildren Brendon, Katelyn, Madison and Marissa. Her caring and loving brother Antonio Spina and his children Domenica and Tomasso.

A special thanks to all of the staff at the Hamlets who loved and cared for her.

May she and Vincenzo be blessed with eternal love and peace.
They will remain forever
in our hearts.

Prayers will be recited on Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. The Reverend Father Peter Nguyen will celebrate the Funeral Mass on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. in the church. Entombment will follow at Evergreen Mausoleum.

Should friends desire, donations to the Alzheimer's Society of BC, Box 277, Kamloops, BC V2C 5K6 would be appreciated in memory of Vincenza.
