elevated z0JRF On Tuesday, May 14th, in her 93rd year, our mother, Maria left us for her eternal home where she joins our father, her beloved husband Luigi, who passed away in 1994.  Maria was a Christian woman of extraordinary strength, faithfulness and total commitment to her family. Maria Cappuccitti, née Lucci, is survived by a large adoring family: Her esteemed children, Rita and husband Sante Zanatta, Michele and wife Christine (Piotrowski), Rocco and his wife Loretta (De Biasio), all of whom she considered her own; Her adored grandchildren, John Zanatta and wife Sandy Bellinaso, David Zanatta and wife Sandy (Novielli), Christina (Zanatta) and husband Sergio Privato, Adam Zanatta and wife Francesca (Di Marco), Claudia Cappuccitti, Daniel Cappuccitti and wife Amanda Lo Cicero, Sandy (Cappuccitti) and husband Andrew Baker, Carina Cappuccitti, Jillian (Cappuccitti) and husband Alexander Bruni, Sarah Cappuccitti;
