MEGNA, Siria Siria Megna “Nonna”, age 89, of Florence, Italy, formerly a resident of Royal Henley Retirement Community passed away at St. Catharines General Hospital on January 26, 2018 at 3:41 p.m. Nonna was born on December 19, 1928 in Florence, Italy.

Nonna became a landed immigrant to Canada February 27, 1949. Nonna grew up in Florence but spent most of her life after relocation to Magnolia Avenue in Scarborough, Ontario. Nonna married the love of her life, Giovanni Megna on March 4, 1974. The couple settled in Scarborough in the early 1960s, where they raised their six children; Roberto, Anna Maria, Peter, Michael, Robert and Lina. Nonna was a dedicated and hard worker. However, she was a devoted and loving mother first and foremost. She was very proud of her family and was excited to become a “Nonna” to her 14 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren.

Nonna loved holidays and family get-togethers; any chance to spend time with her family was important to her. She would spend hours cooking and preparing for her company.

Nonna was known for her feisty, yet good sense of humor and her most famous saying… She will be missed by all that knew and loved her.
