CIFALDI,
Maria (née
PIRONAGGI)
Surrounded by her loving family, Maria
CIFALDI passed away after
a courageous battle with cancer on Wednesday, April 27, 2005,
in her 59th year. Beloved wife of Rocco for 41 years. Dearly
loved mother of Lina and her husband Nick
D'ORIA,
Jane and her
husband Simon
FARRUGIA,
Nancy and her husband Dominic
MAZZA.
She will be sadly missed by her grandchildren John, Rocco, Sarah,
Selena and Matteo. Predeceased by her parents Giuseppe
PIRONAGGI
and Maria DEFAZIO of Italy, In-laws Domenico
CIFALDI and Nicolina
CERICOLA.
Also survived by brothers and sister Domenico and wife
Assunta PIRONAGGI,
Giovannina and husband Amos
SGROMO, Antonio
PIRONAGGI and wife
Angelina
TROPEA of Italy. Predeceased by sister
Angelina PIRONAGGI and husband Francesco
GIGLIOTTI of Italy.
Maria was a remarkable woman. She devoted her entire life to
her husband, children, grandchildren, family members and Friends.
She was about laughter, good times, cooking, vacations, watching
her husband play and coach soccer and more recently - taking
up the game of golf - it was her determination to learn the game,
even though she had to put up with the "private lessons" given
by her husband Rocco. Those lessons paid off however, as she
achieved a hole-in-one in 2000 and has won numerous championship
flights at Westhaven Golf and County Club. Maria never put anything
she wanted to do aside and that is why she has achieved so much.
She has achieved satisfaction by taking the time to enjoy what
life had to offer her. Even though we are losing her at a relatively
young age, she had no regrets in life - and we definitely gained
by having such a loving, joyful and strong woman in our lives.
Family and Friends will be received at Westview Funeral Chapel,
709 Wonderland Road North, on Saturday from 7: 00-9:00 p.m. and
Sunday from 2: 00-4:00 p.m. and 7:00-9:00 p.m. The funeral mass

Winnifred Vining
GIGUÈRE
By Jean SHAPTER and Elizabeth
LANG,
Tuesday,
December 6, 2005,
Page A24
Mother, sister, veteran, hostess, teacher. Born October 22, 1920,
in Oxford County, Ontario Died July 18 peacefully in her sleep
in Mississauga, Ontario, aged 84.
Wynne, as we called her for much of her life, was the first child
of Elizabeth and Gordon
VINING and, together with her sister
Jean, grew up on a 40-hectare farm a few miles from the Middlesex
County site of the pioneer Vining settlement in southwestern
Ontario.
She qualified for two scholarships at Sir Adam Beck Collegiate
Institute in London. After teacher training at the London Normal
School, she taught in one-room country schools until the summer
of 1942, when she and her sister enlisted in the Royal Canadian
Air Force Women's Division. There they both served in the secret
world of the Operations Room. Air Force postings took Wynne to
Rockcliffe, Ontario, Halifax, Florida, Saint John's (overseas at
that time), Dartmouth, Ottawa and Ancaster. She completed her
service with the rank of Flight Officer.
In September, 1945, as Adjutant of the Ancaster Convalescent
Hospital,
Wynne met Flying Officer Paul
GIGUÈRE, a wartime Lancaster
bomber pilot. Paul quickly won her heart and after their discharge
from the service, they were married.
Their early years together were spent in Quebec but in the late
1950s, Paul's work brought them to Ontario and a home in Mississauga.
Six children blessed their marriage: John, Susan, Diane, Michael,
Julie and Lisa. The passage of years added four sons-in-law and
a daughter-in-law. At the time of her death, Wynne, who hated
the idea of being called "grandma," was "Mumzie" to twelve grandchildren
and four great-grandchildren.
Traditions in Wynne's home celebrated her family's dual heritage.
Her pièce de résistance on Christmas Eve was Mme Giguère's tourtière
served with her mother's chili sauce. On New Year's Day, according
to French custom, she hosted a gala party for the entire family.
After many years as a mother and homemaker, Wynne returned to
teaching and earned a degree from the University of Toronto.
She had an outstanding career with the Dufferin-Peel Catholic
District School Board as a classroom teacher in both elementary
and secondary schools and, ultimately, as department head.
In retirement, Wynne exchanged the classroom for the community.
Her activities included service with the Volunteer Centre of
Peel, working with retired teachers' organizations and speaking
for the Dominion Institute's Memory Project which aims to familiarize
elementary and secondary school students with the Second World
War.
She enjoyed frequent social activities with retired teachers
and travel in Canada, the United States, Europe and Hong Kong.
Wynne actively pursued genealogical research. This led her to
Massachusetts, where, centuries ago, an adventurous 16-year-old
Vining ancestor from Somerset settled. It also took her to England,
where she researched other Vining ancestors, and
to Ireland,
where she traced her Talbot and Duffin forebears. Her genealogical
records are formidable.
Wynne was a disciplined walker and a life-long nature lover.
She especially enjoyed the spring wildflowers in Rattray Marsh
and the geese and ducks swimming with their young at the lake's
edge in Jack Darling Park in Mississauga.
Among all her interests, Wynne's family was paramount. Her home
was the focal point for gatherings to celebrate birthdays, New
Year's Eve, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even at 84, she
insisted on preparing the festive meals single-handedly and remained
a relaxed and welcoming hostess to all.
Jean is Wynne's sister; Elizabeth her niece.

GIGUERE,
Winnifred
Irene (née
VINING)
Unexpectedly but peacefully our beloved mother died at home,
in her sleep, on July 18, 2005. Mum would have turned 85 on October
22, 2005. She leaves her loving children: John, Sue (Pete), Diane
(Mike), Michael (Dana), Julie (Murray), and Lisa (Peter). Her
twelve grandchildren will miss their Mumzie deeply: Stephanie
(Dan), Myles, Alicia (Scott), Megan (Brent), Denise (Pat), Paul,
Michelle, Danielle, Della, John, Samantha and Josee. Mum's four
great-grandchildren will miss her very much, too: Brittany, Benjamin,
Wyatt and Brooke. Mum also leaves her devoted and loving sister
Jean, Jean's daughter Elizabeth (and husband Graham), and their
son, Philip. There are many other nieces, nephews, cousins and
dear Friends for whom Mum's life was an example and a beacon.
Mum loved life and was fully engaged in the process of living
it. Her positive attitude was ever-present. Mum was a generous,
caring and deeply compassionate person who was devoted to her
family and her Friends, and to giving back to her community.
Her pursuit of excellence in every endeavour was recognized by
each person with whom she came in contact. Until the time of
her death, Mum was actively involved with the Volunteer Centre
of Peel as a placement consultant and public speaker who promoted
volunteerism. She belonged to two organizations for retired teachers
(R.T.O. and R.W.T.O.), contributing reports and answering questions
about benefits, as well as organizing pleasure trips. Mum also
acted as a speaker for the Dominion Institute's Memory Project.
In this capacity she educated students about the Second World
War from her perspective as a former officer with the Royal Canadian
Air Force (Womens' Division). Mum had a distinguished career
with the Dufferin Peel Catholic District School Board. She retired
from Saint Martin's High School as head of the history department.
The treasures and gifts that Mum bestowed on all she touched
will be sadly missed; not simply the packages of homemade preserves,
hand-made fondant Easter eggs and cakes for every occasion, but
the love and compassion she always demonstrated. Mum touched
many lives. Countless former students say she was the best teacher
they ever had. Her children and many of her Friends say the same
thing. Mum contributed greatly to family and community and had
a full, rewarding life as a result. In her loving memory all
those whose lives she touched should try to follow her example.
Friends may call at the Turner and Porter "Peel" Chapel, 2180 Hurontario
