The tragic news was delivered on Thursday morning by Elia Caterers, part of Elia Borg Bonaci Ltd, on Thursday morning.

Taking to social media, Elia Caterers wrote:

“It is with deep regret that we announce the parting of Antoinette Borg Bonaci, loving wife of Gaetano (Gejtu) Borg Bonaci, and director of Elia Borg Bonaci ltd.

“She will always be remembered for her strength, resilience and above all the beauty and sweetness of her nature which never dimmed notwithstanding adversity or illness.

“She will be sorely missed by all of us especially her husband and children, Christine, Antoine, Francesco and Clara, their spouses and partners and her loving nephews.”

Elia Borg Bonaci Ltd is currently run by the third generation of Borg Bonacis. The business was founded by the late Elia Borg Bonaci and his wife Rita on the 7th October 1953. They opened a confectionery and coffee shop in the main street of Hamrun with a small bakery in the basement floor.

Since then, the business has expanded to catering for weddings, private events and large functions, event management services and has even acquired two venues, allowing the business to plan, manage, host and cater events for its clients.
