Mary and Sebastian were inseparable, true soulmates, living through life’s trials and tribulation, side by side, always hand in hand. They approached everything as a team, believing together along with God’s help they could get through anything, and they did.
More than anything they shared much joy, blessed with 66 years of marriage, 4 Children, 8 Grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren.

A devoted wife, mom, grandmother and great-grandmother, it was always in Mary’s heart to put others first. Everyone who loved her, knew they could always count on Mary, (Grammy) to lend support and a helping hand whether the task was large or small.
During times of happiness or sadness she was there to help and support her family and friends. A true lady with a generous heart, gentle way, and willingness to help spanned 5 generations, caring for her in- laws to caring for her great grandchildren.
It was no easy task of meeting the needs of a multigenerational family however she did it all. Family time was precious.
Whether preparing bountiful Italian meals on the holidays, or Sunday family gatherings, having her family come together around the table to a share the meal she had loving prepared, brought her great joy.
Mary loved spending time in their 2nd home in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, spending time with her son and his family, enjoying the beauty of the mountains and wildlife.
A long walk along the country North Road brought a great appreciation of “being blessed to be in God’s country.”. There was always something amazing to see and she looked forward to the next “adventure”
