The journey of a life well-lived cannot be encapsulated in mere paragraphs and even though words can't fully show how we feel we invite you to join us in remembering this incredible person and how much she meant to so many we are filled with deep gratitude and admiration. You were born in San Giovanni in Fiore Giovanni and Maria Lucente (Demarco) along with many beloved sisters and brothers. At just 12 you bravely took a month-long boat journey to Canada with your family to start a new life. You quickly taught yourself English by devouring “Readers Digest” so you could continue your life-long thirst for learning graduating from University and Teachers College and pursuing your Master’s Degree all whilst working full-time and raising four children. Through it all pouring your heart and soul into making a loving nurturing home. The steadfast commitment to education and your children's well-being was truly inspiring. They will forever be grateful for the sacrifices you made. Resilience selflessness and the power of a mother's love to overcome any obstacle will remain your legacy As the Executive Director of Women In Crisis advocate and trailblazer. Your passion was to empower women and wow did you ever meet that goal by helping thousands of woman and children escape violence and begin new lives. Working with the local community and surrounding indigenous communities as well volunteering on countless boards led to many honours and awards. Chatelaine recognized your grassroots advocacy when they chose you as the top 12 of “Who’s Who of Canadian Women” for that year. You declined their offer to fly you to Toronto as part of a ceremony with national media coverage. Although honoured you said “it was never about that.”  Abbie Carricato. Who would’ve guessed he’d come in the form of a hockey coach. Opposites attracted! You spent 34 wonderful years together. While you loved books and politics Abbie preferred golf and hockey. Somehow that worked for you as a couple. It was sweet how you doted on each other. You made him pasta fagioli and he brought your favourite treats. As a couple you both enjoyed family great meals and a good teasing and laughs. Amazingly shared the same grandkids (Mariah and Aaron) so you were able to act as his (Joe’s) surrogate grandparent which was very special. In the later years you two moved to Niagara to join family and enjoy warmer weather.  The indelible love for your children: Lorne Conway (Cheryl) Tim Conway and Darcie Conway (Mark) is so deep that it will be felt for the rest of their lives. All the homemade birthday cakes non-judgemental and unwavering support and love. Even their friends adored you. As a co-parent to their father you embodied the true meaning of “putting your kids first” ensuring they were nurtured and supported from every angle.  you remained deeply connected to your Italian roots embracing your heritage and passing down traditions. You cooked the most delicious rustic meals with so much extra to send home with everyone. There wasn’t a pot big enough for all your sauce and meatballs. Now your grandkids are making these dishes they once cooked with you.  one of your favourite roles in life was of Nonna/Grandma/Nana to Kevin (Heidi) Daniel and James. Your heart glowed with your great-grandkids Jet Brixton and Laken. Their cheeks will forever be imprinted with your big kisses. Your optimism about the next generation had you believing wholeheartedly in their ability to shape a better world.  nephews and friends will forever carry the invaluable insights you shared through your lifelong dedication to reading exploring spirituality and personal growth. They will cherish the profound wisdom you so generously and graciously shared with them.  you faced each challenge with grace and resilience. Your radiant smile shone brightly even in the face of pain. When others expressed their sympathy you compassionately reminded them that you were not alone in your struggle. An infectious laugh and your mischievous jokes got everyone through. Your strength gave hope when there were no guarantees. You became the hospital floor’s “Honorary Grandma” and the nurses continued to visit you even when you returned home.  Your energy was extra radiant the months before your passing you woke up every morning with a heart filled with gratitude and enthusiasm for the beauty that surrounded you in your home. The cheery birds at the feeders the sun kissing your forehead through the big windows and the laughter of your grandchildren – these were the sources of your healing your own little oasis in the midst of life's uncertainties.  You are the heartbeat of our family and that will never change Just by walking into a room your energy was so big and warm that it felt like a hug to all valued and empowered to be their best selves. Because you believed everyone had that innate right.  Though you are no longer with us physically your vibrant energy and spirit will continue to guide us. We will strive to honour your legacy by living our lives with the same strength Your love and compassion made the world a brighter place. Thank you.  “Do not go gentle into that good night rage against the dying of the light.” We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the hospital staff and nurses on 5A Catharines Site. Special thank you to Dr Kancherla and her surgical team for the exceptional level of care. Thank you to Dr Cuthbert and the Oncology team on 3B and to Dr Brick for his advocacy in the ER. We would also like to express our gratitude to Dr Bassey and for the wonderful care provided by the Paramed and SE Homecare Nurses and PSW’s.  Arrangements entrusted to Considerate Cremation & Burial Services Catharines (between Lake

Disaster struck on March 25 The disaster was first noticed at 3:26 p.m when the assistant mine superintendent noticed that a fuse in the fan power circuit had blown out This indicated that something had happened in the mine and he immediately went down the shaft only to find dust and smoke at the bottom Rescue teams were sent out to find and bring back survivors of this explosion with eight rescued and 24 escaping unaided What was assumed to have happened was that an overburdened explosive charge stemmed with coal dust ignited the dust which then led to an explosion that coated four of the six working sections in flame and debris The Orient No. 2 accident was another mine explosion. The Chicago, Wilmington and Franklin Coal Co. owned mine was located in West Frankfort, Illinois The night shift entered the mine at the number 4 shaft around 6:25 p.m. reaching the working sections about 20 to 30 minutes later Four would be rescued with one later dying from injuries and 133 escaped uninjured the night mine manager noticed that power had gone off inside the mine He would investigate the shaft bottom and call company officials on the surface The mine was known to be filled with methane gas which was suspected to have been ignited by electrical equipment or smoking The St. Paul No.2 Mine was owned by Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad and was located in Cherry, Illinois. On November 13, 1909, it would be the home of a fire that would end up killing 259 people It started when a car containing six bales of hay was sent down from the surface to the third vein in order to feed the mules stabled underground Due to electric malfunction kerosene torches were used and placed alongside the wall When the car was pushed over to a stable area it came to rest under one of the open torches Efforts to move the car away only spread the fire the heat and smoke became more and more overpowering as the fire began the spread a signal would be given to clear out the mine but this order proved to be too late for many The company running the mine was Phelps Dodge and Company The mine employed about 300 men and was focused on cutting coal with machinery and hand-pick mining blasts of smoke and debris burst out of the mine openings blowing out the explosion doors and one side of the fan house 14 from an unaffected area were able to get out and nine others would be rescued later by a crew The explosion was estimated to have come from a dusty section where an overcharged explosive had been fired lighting the coal dust and ultimately leading to this tragedy The absolute deadliest United States mining disaster took place at the Monongah Mine which the Fairmont Coal Company owned and which was located in Monongah it was home to an explosion that killed 362 people 8 mines were slope openings a mile or so away from each other things proceeding as usual until 10:28 a.m when the explosion occurred and killed almost all the workers damaging the ventilation system and various motors and cars in the process Rescue crews were able to save only 1 person In the days afterward hundreds of bodies would be recovered from the wreckage The cause of the explosion was contentious with the most commonly accepted cause to be an arc from electric wires igniting the dust clouds photos and original descriptions © 2025 worldatlas.com Fancy a Christmas holiday of
