ADA DE LUCA August 31, 1935 - August 2, 2016 Ada De Luca passed away after a long and valiant battle with cancer on Tuesday, August 2, 2016 at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg. Left to cherish Ada's memory are her loving husband Domenico; son Ernest and his wife Nicki, her daughter Sonia and her husband Henry, her son Franco and his wife Kendra-Dee; and her three grandchildren, Adrien, Dana and Drake. She is further survived by her sisters, Anna and Maria, nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends in both Canada and Italy. She was preceded in death by her parents, Domenico and Teresa, and her two brothers, Aldo and Francesco. Born in 1935 in Cordignano, Italy, Ada joined her husband Domenico in Canada, in 1958, as a newly married bride. Ada and her husband then began married life together in the small Manitoba community of Pointe Du Bois, where they lived and raised their three children until they moved to Winnipeg in 1970. Ada worked for 20 years as a seamstress at the Hudson's Bay Company, primarily in the bridal department. She was a devoted wife and mother, and she was always willing to share her talents in cooking and fashion with her family and friends. Along with her husband, Ada was very proud to have encouraged and supported her three children in their successful pursuit of engineering degrees. Her time with her three grandchildren was especially precious to her.
