Mary Beth DeStefano

I met Mary Beth in 1968 shortly after my brother died. We went to the same school and had been over to her house, and never new she existed. Marybeth and Jim got me through high-school and replaced my brother. I will always think of the Destefano's as family. I hope she didn't suffer.

Probably the sweetest person I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I'll never forget you or the wonderful times we shared. Rest in peace dear friend.

One of the most amazing people you could ever know. Her spirit, her smile, her embracing personality she was EVERYTHING to EVERYONE and is deeply missed, but her memory will be eternal. God rest her beautiful soul.

Where will the Memorial be? Thanks matt

Marybeth was a very Gentle soul! I met her in Sauganash thanks to her lovely daughters Jessie and Annie. When they moved away to college Marybeth and I became very close and shared many wonderful stories! Marybeth was the most amazing person to have as a friend! Thank you so much for all the advise, the laughter, and for your friendship! And Thank you Jessie and Annie for giving me the opportunity to meet such an excellent human being. My most sincere condolences to you and your Family Love...

"Farewell, my dearest sister, fare thee well. The elements be kind to thee and make Thy spirits all of comfort! Fare thee well."

Marybeth was a wonderful friend and neighbor who will be truly missed. She lived and loved life to the fullest and was one of the sweetest people that I have ever known. To her family, I am so very sorry for your loss. The world is a sadder place without her in it.

To Mary Beth´s daughters, siblings and extended family, you are all in my prayers. Mary Beth was one of the nicest, funniest people I´ve had the pleasure of knowing. We were friends, classmates and neighbors growing up in Sauganash. Our 50th class reunion from Queen of All Saints was held in 2019. When Mary Beth and Mary McAuliff walked in the gym, time stood still - it was like we were back in 8th grade - so beautiful, inside and out. May your memories bring comfort in the days ahead. ...

Mary Beth was one of my earliest friends in grammar school at Queens. Her smile lit up a room. She was a lovely soul.
