<div itemprop="description">Di Battista (Orsetti) Maria, 78, Halifax, passed away suddenly on June 23, 2015 in QEII Health Sciences Centre, surrounded by her loving family. Maria was born in Montegualtieri, Italy and lived there until moving to Canada in 1963. She is survived by her loving husband and best friend Pasquale, her treasured children; Emidio, Clara (Vincent) and her cherished grandchildren Derek and Danielle. She worked as a seamstress for many years at the Bay as well as making dresses for the nuns at St. Stephen&rsquo;s convent and St. Vincent&rsquo;s Motherhouse. She devoted her entire life as a wife, mother and grandmother. She enjoyed making large wonderful meals for family and friends and then sitting around the dinner table enjoying them for hours at a time. We will greatly miss her and her beautiful smile. She was our rock. She was predeceased by her parents, Giacomo and Giselda and her brother Gabriele. Visitation will be held in Atlantic Funeral Home 6552 Bayers Road Halifax on June 26, 2015 from 7-9 pm.
