It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved and joyful Marisa Di Simoni. Born on January 20, 1935, in Vittorito, Italy, she passed peacefully in her 92nd year in Hamilton, Ontario on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, after a short but valiant battle with illness that took her from all of us.

Beloved wife of Vittorio Di Simoni, and devoted mother to Paolo (Patricia), Richard (Rose), and Marco (Monika) Di Simoni. Cherished grandmother to Michael, Daniella, Tyler, Brian, Matthew (Samantha), Isabella, and Nicholas Di Simoni. Loving daughter of the late Rocco and Angela Golini, and dear sister to Teresa (Italy), Vittorio, Vera, and Mario (Lynda) Golini. Marisa was also a treasured relative and friend to countless others whose lives she touched.

As a founding member and former Treasurer of the Trieste Bocce Club Association of Hamilton, established in 1994, Marisa’s dedication and efforts were instrumental to its creation and continued success. Her legacy lives on through the Association she helped build—a place where community members gather, socialize, and form lasting friendships.

Though small in physical stature, Marisa was a giant in presence. Fiercely devoted to her family, friends, and beliefs, her influence was felt deeply by all who knew her. While the Lioness of our family may have fallen silent, the memories she created and the love she shared will roar on for generations.

The family would like to offer special thanks to the staff of Juravinski and St. Peter's hospital for excellent care they provided to our mother during the days she was in their care.

Visitation will be held at Bay Gardens Funeral Home, 947 Rymal Road East, Hamilton, on Monday, March 30th from 2 p.m. till 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. till 8 p.m. A funeral mass will be held at Annunciation of Our Lord Parish, 280 Limeridge Road West, Hamilton, on Tuesday, March 31st at 10 a.m. Entombment to follow at Holy Sepulchre Catholic Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers family has asked to please consider donations to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Mom, may you rest in peace.
