Obituary
Born July 25, 1935 in a small town
in Sicily to parents Giacomo and Francesca (Canale)
Liga. Fina immigrated to the United States with her
family in 1972. Shortly after moving to the United
States, she and her family opened a restaurant in
Taylorville, IL named La Conca D’oro. The restaurant
was known for its “Genuine Touch of Italy” in the
heart of Central Illinois. People still talk about
the fantastic recipes today. Fina’s legacy of great
cooking will be honored by her family through her
recipes.
Fina’s memory will be cherished by her loving
family; daughter Francesca LaMonica (Matteo) of Mt.
Zion, son Loreto Drago (Jullie) of Sullivan,
grandson John LaMonica (Susan) of Vandalia,
granddaughter Stephanie Cooper (Chris) of Mt. Zion,
great grandchildren, Isabella, Cameron, Carleigh,
and several nieces and nephews.
Fina will reunite with her loving husband Calogero,
siblings; Rosa, Salvatore, Giacamo, Giovanni, and
Antonio in heaven.
The family would like to give
special thanks to The Glenwood Assisted Living in
Mt. Zion for the exceptional care they provided for
Fina over the past 10 years. Thank you so much
Tammy, Nicki, Heather, Ashley and all the other
staff for treating her like your own family! |
A special thanks also goes to the 7th
and 11th floor nurses and doctors at St. John’s
Hospital, Springfield for her exceptional care and
to her primary care provider Dr. Jatoi at St. Mary
Hospital, Decatur. The family is grateful for all
your kindness during this difficult time.
A private graveside service will be officiated by
family friend and Pastor, Brenda Nevitt for
immediate family at the Mt. Zion Township Cemetery.
Fina will be laid to rest next to her loving
husband.
