Loreta Furlano

Loreta Furlano, a beloved soul who brought boundless joy and kindness into the lives of all who knew her, passed away on October 5, 2023, in Toronto. Born on October 25, 1953, in Settefrati, Frosinone, Italy, Loreta was a vibrant spirit who touched the hearts of those around her with her fun-loving nature and generous demeanor.

Loreta will always be remembered for the love and care she bestowed upon her family and friends. Her husband Giuseppe shared an unbreakable bond with her, as they journeyed through life hand in hand. Loreta's children Sarah (Nicholas) and Ashley (Antonio) were the lights of her life; she cherished every moment with them. Her heart swelled with pride when she became a grandmother to Matteo, Emilia, Giampaolo, Sofia, Ariana and Giuliana watching them grow brought immeasurable joy to her days. Loreta's love extended beyond blood ties as well—her brothers Peter (Donna) and Robert (Lucia) held a special place in her heart. She was a pillar of support for her late mother Amelia, and her father Nazzareno always admired her kind spirit. Nicholas, Steven, and Sabrina, Loreta's nephews, and niece, shared a close bond that was built on love and trust.

A true advocate of cherishing moments and spreading happiness wherever she went, Loreta embraced life wholeheartedly. Whether it was through organizing family gatherings or lending an ear to listen and provide comfort to those in need, she radiated warmth that made everyone feel welcome in her presence. She was a big sports fan, and hockey was her favourite sport. Loreta was an avid reader, enjoyed true crimes documentaries, crocheting and baking. Spending time with her 6 grandchildren and watching them participate in their extracurricular activities always brought her joy.
Friends described Loreta as someone who could light up any room with her infectious laughter and genuine smile. She had a knack for making people feel important and loved—an extraordinary gift that endeared her to many hearts.
Loreta Furlano's legacy will forever echo through the lives she touched. May her fun-loving nature and generous spirit continue to inspire us all. In our hearts and memories, she will forever remain an indelible source of love and light.
