October 29, 1922 - June 14, 2018
Bea Zucco passed away peacefully with her family by her side. Bea was predeceased by her husband Jack Zucco and her son-in-law Terry Kinsella. She is lovingly survived by her daughter Margaret, son John (Carol), daughter Sylvea and youngest daughter Dede (Jay), seven grandchildren and nine great grandchildren .
Mom wore many hats as a sales person, starting with her home made cheese when she lived up the North Fork. She also sold pots and pans, world book, jewelry etc., in 1964 she made contact with Mrs. Argo and became the Canadian Distributor for Argosheen carpet cleaner which is still being sold today.
Mom was an advocate for families who lost loved ones to silicosis and TB from working in the mines. She fought the Government and WCB and finally won her fight seven years later. She was a very strong and determined lady who fought for what was right. She loved her little farm, where she planted a big garden every year. Her love of gardening, family, and great friends is what gave her joy and peace..
Mom also loved a trip to the casino, especially with her daughter in law Carol.
Mom also loved to travel, she made a trip to India and around the world in 1973. Mom made many trips to Australia to spend time with Dede and Margaret and families. She climbed the Sydney Harbour bridge and walked around Ayres Rock she was 80 years young, as well train trips to Perth and Darwin, Tasmania, Figi, Lord Howe Island when she was 89, her last trip to Australia.
We would like to thank the staff at Boundary Lodge for the wonderful loving care they gave to Mom for her brief stay. Our many thanks to Dr. Geoffrey Coleshill and the amazing nurses and staff at Boundary Hospital.
There will be a Gathering at THE FARM to Celebrate Mom's life in September.
