Mary C. Bonacci, 83, of Hermitage, formerly a longtime resident of Farrell, passed away early Thursday morning, November 6, 2025, in her home.

Mrs. Bonacci was born March 9, 1942, in Adami, Catanzaro, Italy, a daughter of Antonio and Rachela (Bruni) Arcuri. After immigrating to Canada at the age of 11, she graduated from Welland High School in Ontario, Canada, in June of 1960.

A devoted homemaker, Mary dedicated her life to caring for her husband, children, and grandchildren. A talented cook, she was most at home in her kitchen cooking for family and friends. She also enjoyed sewing, and in her earlier years was active in the PTO of her children's schools.

Mary was a member of Our Lady of Fatima Church, Farrell.

Her beloved husband of 58 years, Peter H. Bonacci, whom she married on August 26, 1961, preceded her in death on July 8, 2020.

Mary is survived by three daughters, Joanne M. Titus (Jeffrey), Transfer, Debra A. Stefanak, with whom she made her home in Hermitage, and Mary T. Bleier (Bradford), Windermere, FL; a son, Joseph C. Bonacci, Charleston, SC; a sister, Joanne E. Guay (Normand), Welland, Ontario; and a brother, Felice Arcuri, Grand Island, NY; 10 grandchildren, Tyler and Gabriala Titus, T.J. Stefanak, Bennett Bonacci, and Katarina, Rachel, Grace (Yohan), Peter, Sarah, and Baxter Bleier; and one great-granddaughter, AvaLee Titus.

In addition to her parents and husband, Mary was preceded in death by two brothers, Joseph and Gabriel Arcuri; and a daughter-in-law, Beth Bonacci.

The family would like to express their gratitude to the staff and nurses of Helping Hands Hospice; her caretaker, Michelle; and her beloved grandchildren, T.J. and Bell, for their kindness, love, and exceptional care.
