BURSICH, AMELIA - It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that Peter Bursich and sons Tony and Hugo, announce the passing of their wife and mother, Amelia Bursich (Sirotti) on September 15th, 2007 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born and raised in Grimalda, Italy on October 17, 1919, she made her way to Canada with her husband and three children landing at "Pier 21" in Halifax on April 10th, 1960. Shortly thereafter arriving in Saint John "Free" to raise her family in a new world with all of the challenges it entailed as her husband Peter worked for John A. Kennedy Refrigeration for 21 years and then worked for the city of Saint John in the Recreation Department for 10 years. The obstacles she hurdled, the rocky roads she stepped around and the stumbling blocks she conquered, all the time with a motto of hard work and perseverance. A legacy she engrained in her three children. Her culinary skills brought delight to all who dined within the suttle gentleness of her home.
