It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Anna Isolina Baletto (née Bertoli) at University Hospital on Sunday, November 5, 2023, at the age of 100 years old. Beloved wife of the late Fermo (Fred) Baletto (1971). Cherished mother of Anida Baletto. Predeceased by her parents Santo and Marina Bertoli, as well as by her siblings: Umberto, Luigi, Fillipo, Enea, Enrica, Maria, Celestina, Nicolina and Olivia. Beloved aunt of the late Franco (Anna Maria) Mestroni, the late Gianni (Gemma) Mestroni, and Giocondo (Brenda) Mestroni of Quebec, and their families. Also survived by nieces and nephews in Italy and across Ontario. Anna will be remembered by her family and friends for her selflessness, genuine kindness, generosity and warm hospitality. She was deeply devoted to her family. Throughout her life, she faced adversity with courage and determination. Her deep, unwavering faith sustained her during difficult times. Knowing that family and friends kept her in their thoughts and prayers brought her great comfort. Anna was always immensely grateful for the telephone calls, visits and gifts bestowed upon her.
The family would like to express their sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks to all the dedicated doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals for the wonderful care and kindness shown to Anna over the many years. Thank you also to the palliative care team at University Hospital for their guidance and support. Special thanks to the staff at Westview Funeral Chapel for their assistance and professional service.

Anida, I know that many years have passed since we have spoken. I just wanted to share that I remember fondly my visits to your home. Your mom was always welcoming and her hospitality was beyond reproach. She was a lady of extreme grace who, as mentioned in the obituary, was devoted to her family. I was always in awe of how she took care of her home and delighted in her family. I always said that anyone could eat off of her floors. Her love for you was always evident. I am sure that her loss leaves a huge void in your life. Please know that I have offered a mass in her memory. Anida, I wish you peace, health and all of God's blessings. Mary Lynn (Hamzo)
