Mary Adamo Obituary
Resident of Mesa, AZ
Mar 12, 1947 - Jan 27, 2012
Mary Linda passed away on Jan. 27 in Mesa, AZ. Mary was a loving wife, mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend. She touched many lives with her smile, generous spirit, kindness, and loving heart. Her love for her family was boundless and the times she spent with us were her most cherished moments. Mary was always there to provide whatever was needed to those she loved so dearly.
Mary is survived by her husband, Michael, her daughters Janell (Rand) and Jennifer, sisters Beth and Sue Ellen, brother, Art (Susan), grandchildren Brendan, Kyra, and Jae, her niece Jessica, and nephews Benjamin, Stephen, and Matthew. Mary was preceded in death by her parents Ben and Glenna and her beloved brother, Kevin. As she wished, there will be a celebration of Mary's life at a later date. Contributions to the American Cancer Society may be made in her memory.

We often wonder where the time has gone and then one of our loved ones passes to the world of eternal peace.
It's then we remember this passage of time by recalling all those fabulous memories shared with that special person.
Now we must recall our personal experiences of Mary as a work colleague; a friend to visit arts and crafts stores; a wine-tasting buddy at new vineyards in California and Arizona; and most importantly, a fun-loving woman with a great sense of humor and an endless zest for life!
Rest well our friend,

Mary Linda, just a name but a name that has and does mean so much to me. I will always love you not as a cousin but as my sister. We were seperated by miles and connected with thoughts and feelings of each others presense.We both knew when one of us needed the other. Even though I can't physically touch you my heart and your soul will always be touching and loving each other. I can't say goodbye because you will always be with me. Thank you for making a place for me in your life. Love forever Wally

There is a bond between sisters that can never be broken. No matter what we did, or where we went you always said we were making memories. I will forever be grateful for your love, laughter, tears and yes..the wonderful memories we share. Dear Mary, you live on in each of us. Ever present, always smiling, always loving.

Mary was a very special friend to me. What precious memories I have of us raising our kids together and all the crazy and fun times we had. You are now with your heavenly family and Jeri and Rosemary. I will miss you. Love you.

Laughing, smiling, teasing, touching, warmth, kindness..forever a part.
We will miss those precious moments shared. Distance in miles could not erase the love shared through years.
Now the distance cannot be measured by earthly miles, but the love remains the same.

My Aunt Mary's time was up too soon. She called me the first week in January to tell me about her Christmas in California and how wonderful it was to spend time with her family. I will miss her visits, jokes, laugh, and encouraging words. She was so good to my mother (Claire) and now they are no longer suffering, and together again.
Being a Grammy was one of the best things you ever did. I love you forever and for always. We will never let them forget you.

Mother, wife, daughter, Grammy, sister, friend, most importantly, loved one. No one will ever feel as much love as we got or gave in return. To heaven and back again. Love is a feeling not merely a word. I feel it.

Mary, so glad you were a part of our family. I will cherish the times we had together and the many laughs, cries, watching movies together and sharing a glass of wine. Until we met again my friend. God Bless

I will miss my dear, dear friend Mary, but I am so happy that I have made so many memories with her. No matter what we did, she would always stop and take a moment to say, "I am making a memory." When I visit the places we have been together, I will always stop and take a moment to remember by wonderful friend, Mary. I love you.
