Emilia Nero

In loving memory of Emilia Nero, a remarkable soul whose presence graced the lives of many, it is with heavy hearts that we announce her passing on May 12, 2024. Emilia was born on July 27, 1942, in Cosenza, Calabria, Italy.   Throughout her life, she embodied traits of resilience, compassion, and unwavering strength.
 
Emilia will forever be remembered for her love of cooking, especially during family gatherings and Sunday dinners. Her culinary skills not only delighted the taste buds of those around her but also became a symbol of her care and nurturing spirit. As a passionate caregiver, she selflessly took care of everyone in her life, ensuring that no one went hungry and that all felt the warmth of her love through every dish prepared with meticulous attention.
 
Those who had the privilege of knowing Emilia would attest to her strong-willed nature and opinionated yet insightful perspectives. Her presence commanded attention, and her words resonated with wisdom and sincerity. Beyond her vibrant personality, Emilia found solace and joy in simple pleasures like gardening, where she cultivated beauty and serenity from the earth.
 
Emilia leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion in the hearts of her surviving family members: her loving common-law husband Rocco Spina, beloved daughters Rose and Silvana (the late Julio) and daughter- in- law Rose. Cherished Nonna to Laura, Melissa, Adam, Veronica, Emily, Nestor & Bryan. Proud Great-Grandmother to Jeloni, Rosita, Nicolas, Veta, Adrian, Alex, Brooklyn, Isabella, Olivia, Sir Oliver, Romaine Jr., Theodore, Julia, Kataleyah & Sebastian. In the embrace of her memory, may they find comfort knowing that she now rests in eternal peace.
 
She is now reunited in Heaven with her loving husband Felice Nero and son Giuseppe. Their spirits now reunite in a place where love knows no bounds—a testament to the enduring bonds of family even beyond life's inevitable journey.
 
In our collective grief for losing such a remarkable soul, let us find solace in the memories we shared with Emilia Nero—a beacon of light whose legacy will forever illuminate our lives with warmth and love. May she rest in everlasting peace.
