It is with much love and fond memories that our family says goodbye to our beloved Aunt Palmira Vincentine in her 102nd year.

She is survived by her nieces Anne Marie, Patricia, Barbara, Frances, Maureen, Cheryl, Marcia, Nancy and Anne, Darlene, Gwen; and by her nephews Rod, Joe, Brian, Paul, Arthur, Larry, Carl and Tom; and several great and great-great-nieces and nephews.Palmira was born July 6, 1921 on Metcalfe Street and was delivered by the midwife Mrs. Valeriote because the doctor was busy watching the other great event that day, The Guelph Big Fire at Stewart Lumber yards.Palmira was raised in St. Patrick Ward where she was much beloved in the Italian community and was a good source of local lore for the many Histories written about the Ward. She was very involved in Sacred Heart Parish and was a lifetime member of The Legion of Mary and the CWL. Palmira spent most of her life working in the textile industry where she made many lifelong friends. Palmira will always be remembered for her friendly, fun loving and hospitable nature. She had a fantastic sense of humour and was famous for her wearing of fashionable hats. She often referred to herself as an "Unclaimed Treasure". You certainly were!Special thanks to Dr. Will Ruddock, Father Wieslaw, Peace of Mind Care especially Gina and Barb, Bayshore Nursing and Care Partners.
