Obituary of Gina Morga
MORGA, Gina
December 14, 1927 – December 26, 2019
Passed away peacefully in her 93rd year on December 26, 2019. Reunited with her beloved husband Luigi (1987) whom she adored. Loving mother to Umberto (Late Paola 1987), Carol (Andrew Wilkie), Lynda (Franco) DeRose. Cherished nonna of Sondra, Carla (Marco) Aquino, Vincent (Carrie) DeRose, and Matthew Wilkie (Jenna). Treasured bisnonna of Paola, Gabriella, Angelia, Frankie, Leo, Zoey, Boston, Ruby, and Ivy. Dear sister to the late James Malizia of Connecticut. Lovingly remembered by sisters – in – law Anna and Marietta, Nieces, Nephews, friends and loving caregiver Anna, and all of the staff at the Village of Aspen Lake where she resided for the last year and a half.
Gina was born on December 14, 1927 in Italy and immigrated to Canada in 1949. With very little knowledge of the English language but exceptional cooking skills, she obtained her first job in the kitchen of the Elmwood Casino. After several years in the food industry she and her husband along with brothers-in-law Mario (Adelia) Morga and Antonio (Anna) Iatonna, opened their first restaurant, Trevi Pizzeria, in 1967. They expanded the business to include 3 more restaurants where they proudly served the Windsor Community for over 3 decades.
Gina had a smile that could light up a room. She will be forever remembered by her kind heart and unconditional love of her family. Although our hearts are heavy, we will celebrate her life and find comfort that she is watching over us from heaven.
