Obituary for Angelo Giovanni Benetti

BENETTI, Angelo

August 26, 1933 – April 17, 2022

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Angelo Benetti at Royal Columbian Hospital with his family by his side. He is survived by his devoted wife of 53 years Marcella; children Lisa (Raymond), Silvia, and Roy (Merran); grandchildren Tiana, Evan, Kaden, Jason, Arianna, and Luca; siblings Antonio (Fidas), Maria, Costantino (Arnalda), Mario (Elvira), as well as many nieces, nephews, and close friends in Canada and Italy. He was predeceased by his siblings John (Jean) and Gina (Giovanni).
Angelo was born in San Vito di Altivole, Italy, and moved to Canada in 1957 to start a new life. He was a generous man who embodied the Italian culture and loved a variety of music. Angelo enjoyed the simple pleasures in life of gardening, good food, wine, and spending time with family and friends.
Prayers will be offered on Thursday, May 5, 2022, at 6:30 p.m. and the funeral mass is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. on Friday, May 6, 2022.
