Mary Chiamparino Obituary

Mary Lucia Chiamparino 12/13/14 - 12/8/10 Passed away peacefully at home. A wonderful, kind, loving person who survived an extremely difficult childhood to become someone truly special. An independent lady with a terrific sense of humor, Mary was a great cook and baker. She enjoyed making special meals for family and friends throughout the year and especially during the holidays. An animal lover, she always provided food and water for any creature lucky enough to venture into her back yard. She was predeceased by her husband of fifty-nine years, Joe. She is survived by sons Don (Sherri) and Joe (Marsha). She is also survive by five grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Special thanks to caregivers MIllie and Jeanette who provided outstanding love and care and made it possible for mom to remain living at home. Services are private.
