Our loss is great as we announce that Mimi passed away quietly on Saturday at 2:10 a.m. at Chapel Heights, after about 10 days battling with an infection. Mimi has finally followed her beloved husband of 71 years, Bert. She was an amazing person with her own sense of chic and style who was self-employed for many years running Virgil Decorating Centre. Mimi was known to the Niagara community for giving freely her design and colour ideas to enhance many homes and businesses.
At 22, Mimi married Bert and came to Canada to follow their dreams. She has left behind her two children, Bruno and Christine, as well as four grandchildren Jessica, Maxime, Natacha and Joseph as well as two great-grandchildren, Theo and Luca. Many memories are held deep in our hearts. A boss lady who was also the most loving of people.
Thank you to the staff at the Niagara Falls General Hospital as well as the Chapel Heights team who have cared for Mimi so compassionately.
