Anna Carmela Bernardelli Mazzola was born on July 25, 1933, in Settefrati, Italy, and passed away peacefully on January 25, 2026, at the age of 92. She was the beloved wife of the late Guido Mazzola (2009), with whom she shared 54 years of marriage.
Anna immigrated to Canada in the mid-1950s and settled in Toronto, where she devoted her life to her family and community. She was a devoted mother to Donata (married to Randy), Antonietta (married to John, deceased, and now partner to Frank), and Loreto (married to Ingrid); a cherished grandmother to Lisa (married to Nick), David, Daniel, Emilio (married to Joanna), Daniele, Larissa, and Elana; and a proud great-grandmother to Sarah, David, Julia, Liana, and Alisha. She is survived by her siblings Delfina, Joseph, and Maria, and was predeceased by Domenico, Antonio, and Sabatino. Anna will be remembered for her strong work ethic, generosity, and quiet elegance.
The family will receive their friends at the Egan Funeral Home, 203 Queen Street South (Hwy. 50), Bolton (905-857-2213) on Saturday morning, January 31 from 10:30 – 11:30am, followed by a reception at the funeral home from 11:30am – 2pm, followed by Private Family Prayers.

Adele Pantusa (Sottile)
I am deeply saddened to hear of her passing. She cared for me with the tenderness and devotion of a second mother, and the memories she leaves behind are some of the sweetest parts of my childhood. I will always remember her cookies fresh from the oven, the walks to school where she made me feel safe and the way she poured her heart into our elementary school as a lunch supervisor. She had a gift for making every child feel like they belonged, and in so many ways, she was a mom to us all.
What I will carry with me most is her generosity, her kindness, and the smile that could brighten a room. Her impact on my life—and on the lives of so many others—will never fade. I’m grateful to have known her, and I will hold her memory close.
My heartfelt condolences to your family during this difficult time. Her love lives on in all of us who were lucky enough to be cared for by her.

A Mother’s love never fades. It stays with us in the lessons she taught, the kindness she showed and the memories that grow more precious with time. Her legacy lives on in you. In all of you. I hope the stories you share will bring you comfort.
I remember all of her kindness especially to my little dog Phoebe. I will miss her pearls of wisdom. She lived a long life and shared with me great advice that helped me as a mother. I learned from her experiences that she openly shared with me.
She lit up the room and she always made me smile.
My deepest sympathy to the whole family on the loss of Anna, a wonderful human. Sending you love and hugs.
Kim and Phoebe

Love You “Patina”…you will never be forgotten. I can already see you passing those delicious cookies around in Heaven and smiles all around ❤️
Louis Gagliardi
Kind hearted, gentle, and greatly good, Anna’s memory will be a blessing to all who knew her and loved her.
I’ll never forget her heartfelt compassion, sorrow, and friendship when I lost my young wife.
She followed that up with many calls of concern and comfort thereafter.
She had a devoted friend in the wonderful Denise Safieh and their zany humour played off each other to bring much joy and laughter.
I convey my condolences to Anna’s family, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren for whom Anna’s legacy of maternal love will keep their relationship with her alive forever.
Requiescat in pace Cara Anna. Addio.
