EDITH MARIA AMEND RINALDI

1957 ~ 2022

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved one Edith. On January 7, 2022, Edith peacefully left this world and left the suffering behind after a two year struggle with cancer. Edith was a person of great positivity; everything in her life was met with brilliant optimism regardless of the adversity encountered. She will be forever cherished by her brothers, sisters, mother and friends in kind. Her formal schooling was a Bachelor of science in biology degree from Concordia University and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from McGill University and the University of Alberta. After her son was born she completed a Masters of Business Administration at the Ivy School of Business, University of Western Ontario. She spent most of her professional life at the Medicine Hat Regional hospital for 30 years in various capacities working for the betterment of healthcare. Edith met the love of her life Dr. Brent Rinaldi in 1981 at McGill University and was married in 1984. In 1988, she was blessed with a child, Matthew Nicolo Rinaldi. As a family they loved travel, gourmet cooking, and more recently, gardening. Fortunately, Edith was a voracious reader, a hobby she could enjoy even once debilitating cancer took hold. It is now with a heavy heart that each of us releases her from this life to her goal, entering the gates of heaven. The family would like to thank the physicians and staff at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital for their professionalism and kindness. A special heartfelt thanks to the nurses, aides and pastoral staff at Carmel Hospice at St. Joseph’s Home for their compassion, commitment and gifted caring shown to Edith and our family. Until we meet again. A private graveside service will take place on Wednesday, January 12th, 2022.
