Obituary for Regina Natalia Martinello (nee Quaggiotto)
It is with saddened hearts that we express the passing of our precious Mama, Nonna, and Bis-Nonna, who died surrounded by her loving family on December 11, 2022, at the age of 90, just shy of her 91st birthday (December 25th, 1931).
Regina was born in Poggiana di Riese, Treviso, Italy to Mauro and Ester Quaggiotto. Loving wife of the late Antonio Martinello (2010) for 58 years. Devoted and caring Mama of, Mary and Tom Welsh, Anna and Gino Sovran, and Angelo and Lucy Martinello. Cherished and loving Nonna of Karissa and Luciano Mancini, Dr. Kaitlin Martinello and Marco Amato, and Remi Sovran, and Bis-Nonna of Talia Mancini. Dearest Nonna of Kim Welsh, Tommy and Roselyn Welsh, and Brian Cleaver, and Bis Nonna of Rylee and Cole Welsh. Dear Sorella of the late Bruno and Renata Quaggiotto, the late Bruno and Maria Polo, the late Suora Pia Sunta (all of Italy), Enrico “Richetto” and Pierina Quaggiotto (LaSalle), the late Rosario “Beppi” and surviving wife Eva Quaggiotto (Mississauga), Giovanni “Nino” Quaggiotto (Florida). Dear cognata of the late Angelo, Teresa, Marcella, Virginia, Luigina, Beppi, Berto, and Gino and surviving wife Lia (Toronto). Also sadly missed by several nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and compari in Canada, France, and Italy.

You will be able to view the service from home by visiting Regina’s page on the funeral home website. (It will be available here shortly after the service has ended.) Entombment to follow at Heavenly Rest Cemetery.
Mom was a strong, generous and talented woman who devoted many wonderful years to her family. Mom’s most precious possession was her family, especially her treasured nipoti and pronipoti. Mom had many talents, some of which included gardening, cooking her famous risotto with giblets and Polenta and Tuccio, and of course she loved to knit and sing songs with her brothers and sisters.
Mom retired from Demarco’s Imports at the City of Windsor. She was a member of the Trevisani Nel Mondo. Mom and Dad travelled to Italy many times and in later years travelled to Mexico and Florida.
A special thank you to our cousin Sandra Quaggiotto-Pontoni and all of the support workers, nurses and doctors at Extendicare Southwood Lakes. Your loving care and support will always be remembered.
