ClaraJosephine (Carrie) MORREALE

MORREALE, Clara Josephine (Carrie) September 21, 1921 – September 2, 2017 We are sad to announce the passing of our wonderful caring, beautiful mother. Mom left us just shy of her 88th birthday on Saturday, September 2, 2017 to be with the Lord at the age of 87. Carrie is survived by her sisters, Lucy Nella (Emilio) and Ann Meiklejohn. She will be sorely missed by her 4 children, Sandra (Tim), George (Cynde), Angela (Peter) and Diann (Brian) along with her ten grandchildren, Sam, Daniel, Wesley, Wendy, Mckenna, Kyle, Kelsey, Derek, Gracie, Ruby and nieces and nephews. Carrie was a beautiful active, social, caring friend to all. To those who knew her, she was always the life of the party and embraced life to the fullest. Her lifelong friendships here in Hamilton are a true reflection of her character. Even after living in California for 10 years, when she moved back, she rekindled all her friendships as if she had never left. From lunches at the Mandarin, to casino trips, dinners at the Sons of Italy, visiting friends, playing cards at Sackville, and attending her beloved church kept her very busy. Lives will be forever changed as Carrie had touched upon so many. The family would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Stroke Team, doctors and nurses at on the 7th Floor South at Hamilton General Hospital for the compassionate care they provided as our dear mom made her transition to be with the Lord. A viewing will be held on Tuesday, September 5, 2017 from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. at Cresmount Funeral Home, 322 Fennell Ave E in Hamilton. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Wednesday, September 6, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Lourdes Church, 416 Mohawk Road in Hamilton. A light luncheon will follow. In lieu of flowers the family is requesting donations be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada
