Throughout her life, her compassion shone most brightly when she was hosting, always extending herself so that everyone would feel like they were at home.

She will be greatly missed by her siblings Florie, Mafalda (Duke), Josie (Nino), Junie (Larry) and Dominic (Josephine).

She has left fond memories of sharing stories and laughter over bowls of ice cream and coconut tarts.

Mary, May God bless you. May your reunion with Freddy and all other family members be a blessed one. You will be missed by many especially your beautiful smile when you would see anyone you knew whether it be family or friend. Rest In Peace Mary
With our deepest condolences to the family. I remember the fond memories of when we all got together at their house for special occasions. Aunt Mary will be missed. May she rest in peace.
Now you lay in heaven, like all those whom left before.
Your memory will travel slow, like waves upon the shore.
Gone, but not forgotten forever you will stay.
Our thoughts are always with you.
You took care of me when I was young,
I took care of you when you got old.
You liked vacationing in the hot,
Hated when it got cold.
(I suppose that’s where I got it from)
I will always remember what a great cook you were from pizelle to zucchini patties and our annual Christmas eve feast of the 7 fish.
I will remember your quick-witted stubbornness, that always meant well and how we couldn’t get anything past you. Even when we asked you “Nonna this is beautiful, I wish I had one just like this” your instant reply would always be, “not for sale, not for lease”. Your great fashion from the memorable Looney Tunes shirt to your green fleece dual winter jacket.
~Always on my mind & forever in my heart~
I LOVE YOU NONNA!!!!!!!!!
My deepest condolences to the whole family.
May she rest in Peace
Dearest Angela, Anthony & Robert-
What a beautiful person your mom Mary was. We have many cherished memories with her at (Nonna) Norma’s table with your dad. There was always laughter and joy in their company & now they will be reunited again in the arms of our Holy Mother in heaven.
Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you and the entire family.
It is always a great loss to us all to have to say good-bye to someone from a fearless generation made up of such strength, courage and knowledge.
Thinking of you with much love – the Toffi Family (Pia, Mena, Joe Meale, Nicola, Amanda, Patti & Carlo Ponfoort)
Our deepest sympathies to all of you. We all have fond memories of time spent with both of your parents.
Let Eternatel rest grant on to her oh Lord
Our deepest condolences to you all. We will cherish the great times spent together with both Mary and Fred, who always felt like family.
