Carrie Dolores Mizzi
April 21, 2022
Peacefully, in her 95th year, Carrie Mizzi passed away on April 21st, 2022. Doting wife to the late Larry Mizzi for over 71 years, and the proudest Mother to her two sons, John and Paul, who then gave her two special daughters in law, Cheryl and Susan. She added to her title becoming a Nana to Kim (Steve), Chris (Kelly), Keri-Anne, and Tayler, and Nona to Daniel, Christian and MacKenzie. Both a sister and an Aunt to many loving relatives from all the way back home in Malta, to here in London, to across the world. Her family was everything to her.
Larry and Carrie immigrated from Malta in 1949, and started out in Woodstock, before moving to London, Ontario to carry out the rest of their days. Later, many memories were made in Grand Bend, but their true happiness came from spending over 25 years as snowbirds in their second home in Orlando, Florida. Having her family visit and spend time together, whether it be spent in the Florida room or the many happy hours, is what truly made Carrie’s heart sing.
At her happiest of times, Carrie was surrounded by her family, specifically in the kitchen and cooking for them. Making sure they left with a full belly, left her with a full heart. She loved spending her time shopping, dressed up from head to toe. She was a true fashionista. Her favourite parts of the day were typically when you would find her sipping on “a good cup of tea” and gossiping about the latest reality shows. These are the aspects that made her young at heart, until her last days.
Carrie had a beautiful and fulfilling life and to say she will be missed, is an understatement. However, knowing she has reunited with her Husband Larry, her son John, and many other special relatives, is what brings us peace.
A special thank you to the Parkwood Palliative care team who took the most amazing care of our Nana over the last 6 weeks of her journey. We cannot express the gratitude that we have for all the amazing PSW’s, nurses and doctors.
Visitation will be conducted on Monday, April 25th, 2022, from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, London. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Holy Family Parish, 777 Valetta Street, London on Tuesday, April 26, 2022 at 10:00 a.m., with interment to follow at St. Peters Cemetery.
Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Carrie are asked to consider the Parkwood Palliative Unit or the Sisters of the Precious Blood.

To the best neighbour. Carrie, you will be dearly missed. We will cherish all the memories, especially the many cups of tea and laughs at your kitchen table.

I will never forget those carefree days in Grand Bend with my Mom & Dad, Uncle Lor, Paul and Untie Carrie. Oh, what fun we had, spending our days on the beach and evenings at Green Forest for what always turned out to be too many beers! I can hear Untie Carrie laughing as she constantly poked me with her elbow trying to get my attention so she could tell me something funny. You will be missed and always remembered. I know John, Uncle Lori and Mom & Dad are with you now. Godspeed, JoJo & Gerry xxx
Words cannot express the loss of my dear Auntie Carrie. We spent much time, visiting, talking, drinking tea and sometimes the occasional glass of beer, shopping road trips to the states with my dear Mother Mary, with good laughs along the way, singing and reminiscing with stories of the good old days…..I will truly miss my Auntie Carrie and our times together as her niece and friend. Forever in my heart and full of memories from childhood to adulthood. Rest in peace and God Bless Auntie, your loving Niece Marlene X
