It is with deep sadness that the family announces the passing of Velia Di Benedetto Morante, on Saturday September 5th, 2026, at the age of 94, beloved wife of the late Loreto Morante.
Velia was a woman like no other — strong, loving, caring, hardworking, fiercely independent till the end and full of life. A proud Abruzzese, from the quiet, picturesque village of Salle, she carried with her the strength and determination of the mountain girl she always was.
Even as age, hearing loss and pain began to take a toll on her body, Velia remained determined to live in her own home and on her own terms and was very much the captain of her own ship. We will love her forever and we will miss her laughter and unique gestures, always remaining the heart and glue of our family.
She will be sadly missed by her loving children Marisa, Alfio, Lorena (Sergio) and Ada (Kevin), her cherished grandchildren Stefanie (Nicolas), Cassandra, Amanda, Sara and Chiara, her great-grandchildren Justin and Charlotte, her sisters-in-law Maria, Gina and Alba and many other nieces and nephews, relatives and friends.
Visitations will be held at Magnus Poirier Funeral Complex, 10300 Pie IX Blvd. on Thursday, September 10th, 2026 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on Friday morning as of 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
A ceremony will be held on Friday, September 11th, 2026 at 1 p.m. at Our-Lady-of-Pompei church thence to The Cemetery Le Repos Saint Francois D'Assise
May she rest in eternal peace in the loving arms of God.
For those who wish to donate in memory of Velia, donations can be made to the
Fleury Hospital Foundation.
