FLORENCEMARY (BUNGARO) AGUANNO

FLORENCE MARY AGUANNO (née BUNGARO) August 1, 1925 – August 16, 2016 As we grieve that she has left us, we cherish what she has taught us. Florence, beloved wife of the late Leonard Aguanno, daughter of the late Angela (Martino) and the late Anthony Bungaro. Treasured mother of Anna (the late Barry McRae), Kathie (Bob Mackenzie), Teresa (Mike Armstrong), Carolyn (Randy Peek), Vince (Lenore) and Len. Adored grandmother to Stacey McRae, Amanda Mackenzie, Rob (Molly) Mackenzie, Erin (Ryan) Matier, Michael (Nicole) Armstrong, Ryan (Melissa) Peek, the late James Peek, Michelle Peek (Stuart Evans), Sean Peek; Brooke, Stewart, Patrick and Andrew Aguanno. Proud great-grandmother to Robbie and Freddie Mackenzie, Liam and Margot Matier, Madeline and Sofia Peek, Audrey and Juliet Peek Evans. Mom taught us about loving and giving and sharing, of family first, but always caring about others and always giving back. Mom tragically lost our father suddenly when she was 61. They had a beautiful, loving life together. To help recover from this tremendous loss, she chose to give back to the community. She delivered “Meals on Wheels” for over 14 years, volunteered at her Church, brought communion to the elderly and shut ins and visited the lonely. She and her church group served at funeral receptions because she felt that every life should be honoured. She taught us about dignity in aging during this long and painful process. Her faith sustained her; her love of family and friends gave her strength. In memory of this wonderful person, she would be proud if you would perform an act of kindness.
