Sister-in-law of Teresa (late Geniale), Anselmo (Maria) of Sault Ste Marie and Gidio (Francine) of Belgium. Daughter-in-law of the late Raffaele Chiarello and the late Carmela Greco. Egilda loved her family above all. There was nothing she wouldn't do for her husband, her children and especially her beautiful grandchildren. She was happiest having her family together. Her passion for cooking and gardening complimented each other and you could always find her in the kitchen, making sure that whatever she was cooking was perfect and it always was. Her smile and laughter embodied her passion for life and her joy touched all those who were fortunate enough to know her. She was and always will be simply sunshine, love and light. Her love will never leave us. It will live forever in our memories and in our hearts and it will surround us like the arms of an angel. We will carry her in our hearts for the rest of our days and be grateful for the memories she left us.
