Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryVERA PUCCI (CAPUTO) In the early morning of January 8, 2013, Vera Pucci (Caputo), born June 25, 1926 of Winnipeg, MB, passed peacefully at her home at the Simkin Centre. Left to cherish her memory is her devoted daughter Barbara Skjerpen, husband Allan, her loving son Ernest Pucci and his wife Elizabeth, all of whom were joined by the heart and spirit of Vera's late husband, Victor Pucci. Her precious grandson Anthony of Calgary, step-granddaughter Darcie, husband Morten and step great-grandson Max of Oslo, Norway will lovingly remember Vera. Two half-sisters Mary Miller and Rose Lovallo along with many nieces and nephews also survive her. Vera was born at home on McGee Street in Winnipeg and went to General Wolfe School. She met the love of her life Victor and was engaged for seven years. In 1950 they were married and proceeded to have their two children. Vera worked at Bowman Brothers and Hignell Printing in their bookbindery facility for a total of 40 years until she retired at the age of 65. Vera loved her Blue Bombers, Winnipeg Jets and all sports of every kind. Vera and Vic enjoyed travelling to Italy, France, Hawaii, Barbados, and of course the numerous trips to Las Vegas. Vera firmly believed that she needed to be a strong backbone of support for both her children and her husband. She surpassed any scale of expectation of her generation by proudly providing the cleanest of houses, divinest of culinary exuberance and, bar none; an unbridled optimism that inspired every person she met on her path in life. A celebration of her life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 12, 2013, at Holy Rosary Parish, 510 River Avenue, Winnipeg, MB, R3L 0E1. Donations can be made to Holy Rosary Parish in her loving memory. Flowers are gratefully declined, as the petals would make a mess on her carpet.

I am very sadden to hear of Auntie Vera's passing. However, I remember how much I loved visiting her and Uncle Vic at their house on Vernon Street in Winnipeg. I hold those memories very dear. My deepest sympathies and condolences. - Posted by: Lisa Bidinosti (Great Niece) on: Jan 13, 2013

Her warm smile will remain imprinted in our minds. Although we are saddened by the loss of this very special woman, we are consoled by the fact that she is in a better place beside the love of her life. - Posted by: Mary Loscerbo (friend) on: Jan 13, 2013

This is finely worded. However, I will always remember Nana Pucci's almost devious skills at the game of "tag". A game that she always kept going and will forever remain a winner of. The best memory of this game is in Vancouver. While watching hockey, Nana Pucci, sweet and innocently, said "come here Cody I have something to tell you". I approached her and she said "come close". As I leaned in she swatted me with her hand and said "you're it". - Posted by: Cody (Friend) on: Jan 11, 2013
