Franca Cimetta

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our dear Franca on Sunday September 6th, 2026 at the age of 54. 

Devoted wife of Peter for 28 wonderful years. Proud mother of Gabriela, Monica and Rocco. Dear sister of Pat (Peggy), and Tony (Santina). She will be sadly missed by her nieces, nephews and many family and friends.

Franca has been reunited with her loving parents Nazzareno and Daniela and her beloved sister Marisa.

She was a kind, generous, and compassionate woman who was always willing to lend a helping hand to family and friends, especially during times of need. Family was her pride and joy and always came first. She cherished the time spent surrounded by the people she loved and took great pleasure in bringing everyone together.

She was an amazing cook, especially known for her delicious Italian dishes, and her kitchen was often the heart of her home. She was also a gracious host who loved entertaining, welcoming family and friends into her home for grand celebrations and memorable themed gatherings for every occasion. Her home was filled with laughter, love, spectacular food, and the warmth of those she held dear.

With an adventurous spirit and a natural curiosity about life, she was always eager to experience new things, discover new interests, and create lasting memories. Franca had a big heart and an even bigger smile. She will be remembered for her generosity, her love of family, her warm hospitality, and the many happy moments she created for everyone fortunate enough to know her.

“Home is where mom is.”
