Sara TIBOLDO

WEST, Sara (née Tiboldo) - Peacefully on Friday December 21, 2007 at Providence Manor, Kingston, Ontario. Beloved mamy of Roxroy O. O. West (Diane Payment) of Winnipeg and Fanny Leuenberger (Hansruedi) of Eglisau (Switzerland); cherished gross-mamy of Myriam and Nicole; special sister of Hans Leroy (Julia) of Post Falls (Idaho) and loving god-mother of Clélia Beck (Mauborget, Switzerland). Pre-deceased by her loving husband Dr. Roxroy O. West in 1991 and her elder brother, Roberto Alovisetti in 1990, she leaves relatives in Switzerland and Italy, a niece, Sara Leroy and two nephews, Max and Roberto Alovisetti in the United States and and sisters-in-law Lydia Alovisetti, of New York City, and Barbara Marshall and Doreen West of Trinidad. Born in Bex (Vaud, Switzerland) on November 20, 1919, daughter of Giovanni Tiboldo and Fanny Uhler, she immigrated to Canada with her husband and children in 1958 and was a long-time resident of Kingston. A strong, generous and enterprising woman, she was an avid gardener, professional seamstress and gourmet cook. Fluent in four languages, she made special friends among the Italian community in Kingston. Forever proud of her Swiss culture, she developed a special love for the Canadian landscape and her little paradise at Lacey Lake exploring with pals Caleb and Rerun. She travelled the world with her husband and in her later years, found inspiration and happiness in her many car trips across the country. As she wished, a private celebration of her life will be held in the spring. Cards and flowers are gratefully declined and if desired, donations can be made to the Doctor Roxroy O. West Foundation, Pacemaker Clinic, Kingston General Hospital, 76 Stuart St., Kingston, On K7L 2V7. The family would like to thank all those who were there for mamy, in particular devoted friends Wolfgang and Maureen Weber and Dante and Marianna Del Mistro. Buon viaggio Meity! Nous t'aimons et tu seras toujours dans nos curs . . . c'est comme ça . . . 10945154
