Obituary of Pietro Iveglia

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Pietro at the age of 86 years. Devoted and loving husband to Marija (nee Sangaletti) for 59 years. Loving father to Peter (Jill) and Lorenzo (Carla). Loving grandfather to Anjelica, Cristopher, Kyle and Katrina. Nonno, we will forever and always remember your love for us, and all the special memories made will be kept close to our hearts. Predeceased by his father Petar, mother Ruza, brother Giovanni and sister Ruza. He now will be reunited and embraced with them. Pietro was born in Lastovo, Croatia. In 1951 at the age of 18, he came to Canada to start upon a new life. He began working out west in Calgary, Alberta in the coal mines. After a few years he came to Ottawa and became a painter. He was very athletic and played soccer for the St. Antony’s Soccer Club as a goal tender for many years. Then in 1961 Marija came to Canada where they finally married and just celebrated their 59th Wedding Anniversary. A true testament to ever lasting love and devotion. Pietro will forever be remembered and loved by his family. Until we meet again. RIP – Pa, Nonno. A private family service will be held at Pinecrest Remembrance Chapel. A donation may be made to Juvenile Diabetes Foundation in Pietro’s memory.
