Berta Fontana

Berta Fontana passed away peacefully on June 2, 2024 with her family at her side. A mother, mother-in-law, nonna, and friend, Berta had a profound impact on everyone who knew her.

She is remembered adoringly by her son Ed, daughter-in-law Lori, and grandchildren Danica, Sebastian, and Luca.

Thanks are extended to the team of nurses and doctors at Royal Columbian Hospital for their love and care of Berta. A funeral mass will be held at 11:00am on Tuesday, June 11th at All Saints Parish (821 Fairfax St, Coquitlam) with viewing before the mass at 10am. Reception to follow immediately after the mass.
