Ida SCALETTA

Ida Deodato (Scaletta) Ida was the 1st born child of 12 of Sam and Rose Scaletta in Termini Sicily on April 7th 1907. She passed away peacefully at Trillium Ridge on December 28th 2002. During her almost 96 years here she accomplished more than most people dream about. Ida married Tony Sr. on October 24th 1923. She was the driving force behind the successful business they would work at together for 50 years, now known as Deodato Fruits and Vegetables. She also managed to raise a family of 10 children who loved and adored her, Mary, Rose, Lucy, Anne, Vin, Sam, Ida, Tony, Jean and Pat, who in return gave her 26 grandchildren, 58 great grandchildren and 10 great great grandchildren. What an amazing legacy she leaves behind! Ida and Tony were married almost 60 years when she lost her beloved husband just 10 days before that milestone anniversary. Her greatest losses in her life were when her precious sons Sam and Vin passed away. Her life was a cause of celebration for her whole family and so it is that we thank all those who gave such tender loving care to her especially the wonderful staff at Trillium Ridge and Dr. Cristoveanu who was there whenever we needed him. To all who sent floral tributes, had memorial masses offered and gave to the Multiple Sclerosis Society, the Kidney Foundation and the Regional Cancer Centre in our mother’s memory we give our deepest gratitude. To James Reid Funeral Home and Father Leo Byrne thank you for your kindness during this very difficult time. Rest peacefully mother knowing that for every life you touched they were a better person for it. You were our angel on earth. -The Deodato Family.082727 1/11/2003- ID1238447 - Kingston Whig Standard
