Obituary for Nora Serallegri
In Loving Memory of Nora (Honora) Serallegri (nee Ladouceur)
Nora Serallegri, a beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend, passed away
peacefully at Southlake Regional Hospital early in the morning of on October 28, 2023. As the
sun rose over Newmarket, it was as if nature itself was paying tribute to a woman whose light
touched the hearts of many.
Nora was born September 26th, 1948 in Athens, Ontario, and her life's journey was a testament
to her unwavering strength and boundless love. She shared 52 beautiful years of marriage with
her devoted husband, Frank, and together they raised a loving family. Nora is survived by her
two children, Marcy (Jon) Sanderson and Matthew (Loretta) Serallegri, who will forever cherish
the love and guidance she provided.
The bonds of family were always close to Nora's heart, cherishing every moment spent with her
loved ones. One of Nora's greatest joys in life was her beloved granddaughter, Allegra, whom
she adored and the bond they shared was beyond words. She was one of nine siblings,
survived by her brother Patrick and sister Linda to carry on the family name. Nora was also a
loving aunt to many nieces and nephews from the Niagara area, always there with a kind word a
warm smile and the best hugs.
Nora's life was marked by the many close friendships she cultivated over the years. From her
early days growing up in Welland, to starting her family in Guelph, she had an uncanny knack
for forming lasting connections. Nora worked at Fiberglass in Guelph, contributing to the family's
well-being while at the same time dedicating herself to her children's upbringing.
In 1980 the family moved to Newmarket, where she embarked on a successful career in real
estate. After retiring, Nora and Frank ventured into the world of entrepreneurship, opening of all
things a tanning studio. This endeavor allowed Nora to do what she loved most - connecting
with people and sharing laughter. She had an infectious sense of humor that could light up any
room and brighten even the darkest days.
Nora had many passions in life, including her love for the pool, exciting visits to the casino, and
the traveling, visiting beaches or family in Italy. She was beloved by her extended Italian family
and proudly embraced her Italian heritage with her culinary skills, which were “molto very good.”
Nora's passing leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew her, but her memory will forever be a
beacon of love, laughter, and cherished moments. She leaves behind a legacy of warmth,
generosity, and kindness that will continue to inspire those who were fortunate to know her.
Nora's spirit will live on in the hearts of her family and friends, and her memory will forever be a
reminder of the beauty of a life well-lived.
Rest in peace, dear Nora. You will be forever missed and forever loved.
A celebration of Nora's life will be held at The Sharon Temple on Friday November 10th service
at 5:00 pm followed by Celebration Casino at the Temperance Hall. In lieu of flowers, the family
requests donations to be made to Southlake Regional Hospital Intensive Care Unit in her
memory.
