Rita Filippelli Obituary
With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Rita Filippelli (Vancouver, British Columbia), who passed away on November 18, 2024 at the age of 81. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Rita Filippelli to pay them a last tribute.
As we bid Rita farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Rita is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She is survived by: her husband Giuseppe; her children, Maria (Paolo) and Domenico (Maryann); her grandchildren, Danica (Anthony), Christina, Jessica (Filippo) and Michaela; and her sister Elena (Salvatore). She is also survived by many other relatives and friends.
