?Adriana Laine

1944 - 2017

Adriana Laine (nee Bertoia) passed away in the Invermere and District Hospital on Thursday, May 11, 2017.

Adriana was born on December 17, 1944 in San Lorenzo Italy to Severino and Beatrice Bertoia. She was the baby of the family. When she was five years old she came across on the boat and turned six before she arrived in Canada. Her family settled in Michel/Natal until they

moved to Cranbrook. Adriana attended college in Lethbridge and when she returned to Cranbrook for work she met Dennis Laine in 1965. She married him in 1966. They welcomed Debbie into their family in 1972 and David in 1974. They moved from Cranbrook, to Golden, and then to Invermere, making many friends along the way. Adriana was a part of the Kinettes and Eastern Star. She worked with the Ministry of Highways for many years before she joined Dennis working alongside him in his accounting practice. When he sold his practice she opened Lakeview Daycare in Invermere and loved every child that went through her doors, many of them still being a part of the family.

Adriana predeceased by her parents, her eldest sister Gemma Agostinis, and her husband Dennis of 49 years in 2015. She is survived by her brothers Louie and Fonso Bertoia, her sister Itala Marchi, her son David, her daughter Debbie Twomey, son- in-law Christian, and granddaughters Grace and April.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Olmesdahl who always treated our Mom with the utmost respect while showing genuine care and concern for her. To the nurses at the hospital, thank you for providing our Mom with the best care possible in her last days. It meant the world to us.

Adriana’s funeral mass was celebrated at the Canadian Martyrs Catholic Church in Invermere on May 18, 2017.
