With love and sorrow, we announce the passing of Gay Maureen Nicoletti, after a short battle with cancer.
Gay was predeceased by her parents, Morris and Margaret Gunderson. She leaves behind her children: Sandra Maiorana and grandchildren Luca, Marisa, and Nico Maiorana, Michael Nicoletti (Anna Snowdon) and Pamela Baldassarre (Canio Baldassarre) along with grandchildren Nicolino and Amadeo Baldassarre as well as 3 sisters Sheron ( Richard ) Currey, Linda ( Peter) Whalley and Kim (Brent)Hayduk
Gay’s life was not an easy one. She faced much and yet she was loved, she was imperfectly human, and she will be remembered with the complexity that defined her life.
Those close to her remember flashes of joy and authenticity — her unmistakable laugh, her love of candy, her creativity expressed through painting and coloring, and the companionship of the pets she cared for over the years. Her sense of humor, often sharp and unfiltered, reminded us that she met life on her own terms.
Her children and grandchildren carry forward the lessons of resilience, forgiveness, and strength that came from walking beside her journey. In their lives, Gay’s story continues — not as a simple one, but as a reminder that love, loss, and healing can exist together.
The family is grateful that her final battle was short, and that she is now at peace.
