Mary loved to cook her traditional Italian dinners. Her family couldn’t get enough and would ask every time they saw her if she was making her meatballs. Holidays were always at her house and were big events, where she had a welcome, open and revolving door to anyone she knew. You never knew who would “pop” up. She loved pulling up a seat to hear their stories & share stories of her crazy family.
She loved vacationing in Florida and would often rent multiple houses on the same block so her family and friends could vacation with her and she could bring her beloved dogs Gidget & Gigi.
Mary had many loves in her life. She loved her children, grand children, and great-grand children. Her family was everything to her and her whole life.
In her younger years,
she rode a trike, was Miss Borough Park beauty queen, owned and operated multiple successful businesses along side her husband Domonick.
Together, they built their family on love.
Now, she is holding the hand of her true love as they go into their nightly hand holding walk around the block & into eternity together.
