elevated eyIRj Obituary
Words cannot express the sadness felt at the loss of Pina Sciannella on Tuesday February 22, 2022 due to pneumonia surrounded by her children and siblings at Humber River Hospital. Beloved daughter of predeceased parents Bruno and Viria Valentini, Pina was born on January 2, 1952 in Montorio, Abruzzo Italy. In 1954 the family relocated to Montreal, then 1972 to Toronto. She married Teodoro (deceased) in 1979.
Pina was a kind, caring, sympathetic, warm hearted and loving person. She was a skilled cook who loved to pass on family traditions and knowledge through it. She strongly believed that you had to know the tradition before trying to change it. She took great joy in spending time with family. Her love of children could be seen in how she befriended every child.
Pina will be dearly missed by all her family: Her children Lisa and Paolo, her siblings Berardo(Colette), Omero(Ruth), Marina(John), sisters-in-law Carmalina, Elia and Lynda, all her nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to Princess Margaret Hospital or the Sick Kids Foundation.
Paolo/Lisa Berardo and Family Omero and Family Marina and Family. There are no words for your pain. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. My sweet friend Pina… will miss our talks.. take care of your family. R.I.P Pina

I am so sorry for your loss.Pina is the kindest,gentlest,child of God that I have ever been privileged to know and love.
I hadn’t seen Pina in many,many years,but we spoke often and always on our birthdays,which are only a week apart.
I am totally bereft and in shock and my heart is broken.
Thank you,God, for all the memories of growing up together,of being neighbours, and especially of being my oldest and best friend.
I loved her. I love her. Rest in the arms of the angels.

I spoke to Pina last year, and we talked about how Covid had changed our lives.
But more than that, I remembered what a nice person she was.
The Valentini family was always a bright spot in my childhood.
I am sorry we didn’t keep in touch.
My condolences to all the family. Doubly hard having lost Davide so recently.
May she Rest In Peace.
