Adriana left us peacefully and surrounded by love at the Guelph General Hospital on Saturday, December 4th, 2021 at the age of 72. Doting and loving mother to Kristyna; her husband Ryan and her stepson Shane Forrer, and a dear friend to her former partner Michael Petrollini. Adriana was a proud fur-Noni to Darla, Smokie and Brandie whom she loved and spoiled excessively.
Adriana is survived by siblings Josephine Natarelli, Grace Contini, Mafalda Natarelli and Gabriel Contini, many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews and dear friends. She is predeceased by her parents Fillippo and Iolanda Contini and siblings Gabriel, Ann Ventura, Michlena Macri and Nicola Contini. Kristyna and Ryan would like to extend their sincerest gratitude to her friends Diane, Leanne and Adela who gave Adriana the most precious gift of friendship, comfort and care over the past few years.
It is difficult to summarize in so few words what an impact Adriana had on those who knew her. She will be remembered fondly for her incredible generosity and willingness to always open her door and heart to those who needed it. She was quick witted, knee slappingly hilarious and famously, the cook of the best meal you will have ever had.
