It is with heavy hearts and sadness, that we announce the passing of our dearly beloved Silviana Ruscica, at her home, on June 19th 2022, at the age of 67 surrounded by her loving family. 

Silviana is survived by her loving husband Giovanni, cherished mother of Domenica (Peter) and Thomas (Deeana). Proud Nonna to Valentina, Giovanni, Sofia, Giuseppe and Gia. Also survived by her dear mother Maria Mastrella (Angelo - pre deceased) 

Silviana was deeply bonded with her sisters Pasqua, Angela (Joe), Marisa (Domenico), Brothers in Laws Sam (Deborah) and Joe, and loving Niece and Nephews. 

She worked as an Early Childhood Educator for many years at C.E. Webster Junior public school. She was adored by all her students and staff who always looked forward to her organized school themed events. 

She had a passion for decorating parties and organizing events. Her special talent for making all things look beautiful was never short of spectacular. 

For many years she dedicated her time to the Jewish community. She was so proud to be a part of all their special family celebrations and special events. 

Her cottage memories with family and loving grandchildren were what she held close to her heart. The cottage was another place for her to add her loving and vibrant touch. 

Her love for life showed daily, in everything she did and everywhere she went. She always had a smile on her face with her red lipstick on. Her personality was bigger than life and she was always the life of the party. She was truly one of a kind. She will never be forgotten and deeply missed by all who have had the pleasure of knowing her.
