Mia will be deeply missed by her children Lori, Heidi (Steve) and her grandson, Noah, as well as many other extended family and friends.

She came to Canada after World War II to live with her brother Joseph and his family in Southern Ontario. She met her husband Mike in Markdale, Ontario, while she was working in a shoe factory.
