I first met Mary when I was 13 years old. I was “dating” her oldest son, Tommy. For the next six years, I was in her company almost every day and she became like my second mother at the time. She taught me so many things during those years. She taught me how to cook some of her favorite dishes and gave me her “secrets” for the recipes. We baked apple pies, crumb cake, homemade manicotti, meatballs, etc. She was a fabulous cook. She gave me lots of homemaker tips for cleaning and ironing. She taught me the fun of playing BINGO. Tommy and I spent many nights at BINGO with her and many more nights driving her and picking her up from BINGO. She and my mom, became friendly as well.
Mary was a very sincere and thoughtful person who welcomed me and everyone else into her family with open arms. She made sure everyone had a great time, always joking and full of energy. She always invited me to go “down” the shore to Uncle Johnny’s shore house with the family and included me in all their excursions. Although she didn’t like boating, she did do some crabbing from the dock. And, she was always willing to cook up the fish that was caught almost every day at the shore house.
I met her again some 30 years later when Tommy and I began “dating” again. Although I hadn’t been with the her for all those years, she immediately made me feel like family. It was as if I had never left and we again ignited our friendship. She loved children. She enjoyed spending time with my granddaughter as well as all her children and their children. She spent many Holidays with my children, Tommy and I and she loved and looked forward to spending time sitting by my son’s backyard pool!
She was a wonderful person and it was a joy to be part of her life. I thoroughly enjoyed being with her and helping her as she advanced in years, whenever I could. She was a fun-loving person who brightened everyone’s day with her humor and teaching everyone her “Italian” vocabulary.
It was truly an honor to be a part of her life. My heart is saddened by her passing, but comforted by knowing that she is now in Heaven with her husband, Tony, and her siblings and other relatives. Until we meet again, I know she will always be our angel looking down from Heaven. Her memory will be kept alive and she will never be forgotten.

A Tribute to MaryA Tribute to Mary:
Mary was always full steam ahead! She was always cheerful and delightful, and so full of life, which no doubt, was instilled from the warmth and compassion she shared and received from her loving family and friends. Truly she was always so highly spirited in a way that when you would see her, she would always add a sparkle to your eyes while adding an extra beat to your heart. As she extended her gentle and kind hand or wrapped you with her warm and tightened embrace, you could feel her loving energy flowing from within.
Yes she was a skillful and almighty chef, wielding a spoon or a whisk to anyone that came near her table and would wield it once more if you didn’t sit at her table and eat! And so, while the delicious scent from the kitchen permeated the house with a pleasant aroma, her constant and unstoppable boisterous laughter also filled any nooks or crannies that were left unbuttered.
Although we will no longer hear her true laughter, her laughter will be shared with all the loved ones we miss and loved in the past. And so, I say to all — the next time thunder cracks through the clouds - - Remember this - - Mary is now stirring the heavens and yelling “Bingo!”
With loving memories,
The Longo Family

Gram was quite a special lady. Mary made me feel as part of her family from the first visit to her home as just a young boyfriend to her granddaughter(Trish). I feel very fortunate to have become part of her family moving forward.She force fed me ,although she didn’t need to with her great cooking skill. That was her though.., making sure you felt comfortable. Making sure you were fed and doing well.Making you feel special . Mary had a great combination of personality : a sense of humor & genuine care.,with a touch of stubborn (: writing Mary for the sake of this post seems odd as..I called Mary “gram” — and it felt natural and accepted. , as that’s what she felt like to me. Gram LOVEd her family most of all. Her kids ,grandkids,great grandkids etc,. (even in-law grandkids:) . Mary will surely be missed and while leaving us with so many memories, she will always be remembered. -Chris
