It is with deep sorrow that the family of Tilde Racco announces her passing on April 1, 2021, at St. Joseph s Hospital, surrounded by family.
Born in Gioiosa Marina, Italy on February 3, 1933, Tilde grew up in Saderno Marina, Italy. Tilde married Rocco Racco in 1966 and immigrated to Canada shortly thereafter to join him and his family. In February, 1968, she and Rocco welcomed their only son Mario.
When Rocco passed away suddenly in 1971, Tilde worked hard to support herself and Mario. She worked as a baker for many years at the Royal Edward Hotel and Palma’s Pastries. Tilde loved to be surrounded by family and enjoyed cooking for them when she was able. Even unexpected company would soon find a buffet set out before them. Tilde loved to work in the garden and had a real green thumb. Even when she moved into an apartment, to continued to plant in pots.
