Maria Bailey Obituary
Maria was born in Palermiti, Italy to Joseph and Maria Suppa on September 7, 1953. Maria traveled to the U.S. on the Italian passenger liner The Andrea Doria which famously sank on July 25–26, 1956, after colliding with the Swedish American Liner, The Stockholm off the coast of Nantucket in the Atlantic Ocean.
After the long trip from Italy Maria settled down in Weymouth, MA where she graduated from Weymouth High School, and went on to start a family and focus on a long career in the dental field. Maria will be remembered for her love for Christmas decorating and for her countless Italian feasts.
Maria is survived by Timothy Bailey, Michael Bailey, Laurie Bailey, Christine Hadden, Scott Hadden, Sean Bailey, Tori Hadden, Ella Bailey, Josh Hadden, Nora Hadden, Mia Bailey and longtime companion Steve Williams.
Due to Covid-19 we will be holding a private family service with no public viewing.

I always knew her as Mary Suppa growing up. She went to school with my oldest sister Gerry who said Mary was her first friend in the neighborhood. I remember going to her house and always being welcome unlike some of my sisters “older” friends because a 4!year difference in age back then was like another generation! Anyway, thank you Mary for such great memories, hugs to your Family and may the memories they have for you and all the love of family and friends comfort you in your sadness. Laurie Bartlett
