Maria L. Perrette 69, passed away November 16, 2024. Maria was born in Brooklyn, NY to Frank and Marie Perrette, older sister Elena Loera and younger brother Steven Perrette. She lived the last 25 years in Beacon where she spent her life sharing her warmth and wisdom. She was a selfless caretaker, always putting the needs of her family and friends above her own. Whether it was offering a listening ear, cooking a warm meal, or simply sharing a laugh, Maria’s home was a haven of unconditional love and comfort.
Maria loved the Yankees and baking holiday treats that were nothing short of legendary. She rarely missed a game, this year and the fact she saw them go to the World Series brought joy to her heart.Her kitchen was the heart of her home, where the smell of freshly baked cookies filled the air and brought smiles to everyone lucky enough to taste them.
Above all, Maria’s greatest joy was her family. She was the rock on which generations were built, her wisdom and kindness shaping the lives of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. To them, she was more than a matriarch—she was a best friend, a confidante, and a shining example of what it means to love unconditionally.
Maria leaves behind a legacy of compassion, generosity, and unwavering devotion to those she held dear. She is survived by her daughter Staci Perrette; grand children; Davonte Gibson, Shakerra Gibson and Naije Perrette; Great grand kids; Namiri Perrette, Sorayaa Cumba and Naijour Perrette.
