It is with great sadness that the family of Teresa Ann Patricia D’Agostino (nee Plati) announce her passing at age 64, while in hospital on Friday, October 18, 2024 after a long illness. She will be reunited with her loving husband of 36 years, Franco D’Agostino, who left this world just 3 months ago, on July 16, 2024. She was a fiercely loyal mother of Rosellen, her beloved daughter-in-love Ashley Broderick, and her chosen son, Jonathan (Jamie) Beram.
Teresa was born on August 28, 1960, in Peterborough, Ontario, to her parents Vincent (1933 – 2020) and Helen Plati. She was the second of 4 children, and grew up in Scarborough, and Woodbridge.
Protective sister and friend, big sports fan, dog lover, and proud Notre Damian, Teresa was known as “Zeets”, the cool aunt. She loved her nieces and nephews foremost among all the wild branches of her family tree. Her door was always open, and her home was the safe space where everyone was accepted without judgement, and where she was mom to so many honorary children.
She lived for authentic Italian food, the Boston Bruins, the Pittsburgh Steelers (of course), Halloween night, having her hair and nails done, The Godfather, any leopard-printed thing, and every bit of music her husband and daughter jammed out.
Teresa is survived by her brother Larry (Gina) Plati, and sisters Donna (Dan) Hilsenteger, and Angela (James) Hay, her sisters-in-law Connie (Tony) Morrone, Linda (Silvio) Couto and brother-in-law Anthony (Catherine) D’Agostino, as well as her many, many nieces and nephews, cousins, and loving friends.
Rosellen and Ashley are eternally grateful the support of their family and friends these past months. It has been very difficult for them, caring for both Frank and Teresa, right up until the end. “You know who you are, and we will never forget all that you’ve done for us.”
Family and friends will be received for visitation at Egan Funeral Home, 203 Queen Street South (Hwy. 50), Bolton (905-857-2213) on Monday, October 28 from 2:00 pm until the time of funeral service in the chapel at 3:30 pm.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Foundation are greatly appreciated.

Rest in Peace, our dearest Teresa. May angels lead you in.

Rosellen and Ashley, my heartfelt condolences on your mama’s passing. She was one of a kind, even back in our Notre Dame Days. Teresa was a passionate force to be reckoned with. May she rest in peace in the arms of Our Lord
