Dr. Perlita Marie Delaney passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 16, 2025, at her home in Kingston, Ontario. Perlita was born December 5, 1955, to Amparito (Gambara) and Didier Landel in Parma, Italy.
Perlita began her schooling in Paris, France and continued there until she was 12 years old when her family immigrated to Canada.
Perlita graduated from the University of Ottawa Medical School in 1979.
She traveled the world extensively until she became incapacitated by multiple sclerosis. She lived independently, on her own terms and made many friends throughout her lifetime. She was the forever optimist whose motto was keep smiling.
