Maria was a longtime communicant of St. Cecilia Church, Pawtucket, and was a woman of great faith. She enjoyed spending time in the yard gardening and being with her family.

TRIPP Funeral Home, 1008 Newport Ave., Pawtucket, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 12:00 p.m. in St. Cecilia Church of St. John Paul II Parish, 755 Central Ave., Pawtucket.
