Obituary of Nicola Miele

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Nicola at the age of 91. Beloved husband of Antonietta (nee Felice) for over 52 years. Cherished father to Anna (Jerry Snopkowski), Vince (Michelle), and Maria. Loving Nonno to Cassandra (Lucas Edgar), Adrian (Claudia), Tristan, Alexa, Sasha, Tia and Sydney. Great-Nonno to Clara and Enzo. Left to mourn are Nicola’s siblings; Mariantonia (the late Francesco Miele), Libera (the late Giovanni Miele), Tommaso (the late Pasqualina), Maria (Francesco Felice), and Giovannina (the late Angelo Salvatore).

Nicola was a hardworking farmer, passionate about the land and all its beauty. He was happiest when he was working outside, spending time with his grandchildren, and entertaining visitors. A gifted storyteller, Nicola would often tell stories during family gatherings, celebrations, and regular Sunday dinners. We will miss his generous, caring, and passionate spirit.

The family would like to extend their thanks and appreciation to the staff at the T. Roy Adams Centre (Linhaven), especially the recreation department for spending hours of quality time with Nicola, making him feel like he was at home. Thank you also to the staff at the St. Catharines Hospital for their care and compassion.
