Maria Sono Falzone

Maria left this world behind with dignity, freed on May 28, 2019. The day she chose to pass away in the face of her terminal “D*#k S-#*ing” Liver Cancer. Just as she promised and intended, in the peaceful surroundings of her California desert home, surrounded by her loved ones. Maria was born in Boston, Massachusetts and was the daughter of the late Natala (Marabella) Falzone and Giovani “John” Falzone. She attended local schools and received a college bachelor’s degree. She worked for a time with her father at John’s Pizza in Chelsea. Maria had a love for entertaining and believed that acting would be the path she would like to follow. Later on, she would find that her real love and talent was in comedy. Her humor and wit together with the ability to find something funny in real life situations would lead her on a rewarding life journey. Maria became a headline comedienne, earning appearance’s on Comedy Central and an HBO Comedy Special. She received invitations to perform for the USO, worked shows in Reno NV, and locally at Giggles, Dick’s Beantown Comedy Vault and countless clubs from the east coast to the west and everywhere in between. Fourteen years ago, a new path would emerge for Maria when she heard of a show called “Sex Rules”. She soon bought the rights to that show. This time using her wit and humor to inform students about safe sex practices. Her lectures where standing room only. She soon became a sought-after inspirational college lecturer. Her focus was not limited to safe sex practices but on how to prevent and avoid dangerous sexual abuse. Following her lectures, she would often be sought after from past attendees who would come to tell her how much her inspirational programs had a positive effect on them. Maria found it personally rewarding having that kind of an impact on thousands of students. Her legacy continues as many of her programs are still viewed on social media. Maria had many rolls in her life, the most important ones where mother-friend, daughter, big-sister, aunt, friend to many others, animal lover, an entertainer and educator. She was most devoted to her daughter, whatever endeavors she would pursue, Maria was there to support her, even becoming a “Scout Mom” at one time. Maria loved to prepare Italian home style meals; she was a mother to many outside her home using her own brand of what she called “Sicilian-Yoga”. She also enjoyed traveling and opened her home as an Airbnb for dogs. Maria will forever be loved and remembered by her daughter and best friend Natalie Hill of Burke, VA, her younger brother, Michael A. Falzone and his wife Jess of Revere. Her cherished nephews; Gianni Falzone of Boston, Nicholas Falzone of Somerville and Christian Falzone, stationed in Sault Ste. Marie, MI. her stepmother Janet Falzone of Yucca Valley, CA and her former husband Robert Hill of VA.
