Grazia was born in Brognaturo, Catanzaro, Italy where she spent her early life working. She immigrated to Canada in September, 1961. Shortly after her arrival, she married Angelo and they started their life together. She worked hard her whole life, retiring after more than 20 years of service at Eaton's. She was known for her friendly demeanor and enormous generosity. Her door was always open, where family and friends were always welcome. Grazia loved cooking and baking and sharing it with everyone, if you came for a visit you left with something homemade.
