The neighborhood is saying goodbye to her. Those who had the honor of knowing Maria will always enjoy the legacy of love, warmth, and knowledge that she leaves behind. Her birthplace was Avellino.
Beginning with her humble origins in Italy and continuing through her latter years in Park Slope, Maria’s contagious energy left an impression on the lives of everyone who came into contact with her.
The extent of Maria’s affection for her family was unbounded. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, and her caring presence offered comfort and peace to people who were in her immediate vicinity by her presence.
Not only did Maria fulfill the tasks of a caretaker and a homemaker, but she also served as a shining example of wisdom and resilience.
Maria’s legacy of love, warmth, and wisdom will continue to live on in the hearts of all those who had the good fortune to know her, even though she may no longer be physically present with us.
