In Loving Memory of Mary Callea
Mary Callea, born on October 20, 1952, in Brooklyn, NY, peacefully passed away on February 3, 2024, surrounded by her loved ones. She was the cherished daughter of the late Joseph and Concetta Vadala. Mary is survived by her devoted husband, Rocco Callea, and their loving children Salvatore and Tina.
Mary was a beacon of kindness, embodying the roles of a compassionate mother, devoted grandmother, and a loving wife. Her warmth and generosity touched the lives of all who were fortunate enough to know her.
Beyond her nurturing presence, Mary possessed a remarkable talent for painting ceramics and playing the piano. Her artistic expressions brought joy and beauty into the lives of those around her. Mary's culinary skills were equally impressive, and she delighted in preparing delicious meals, especially during holiday gatherings with her cherished family.
She leaves behind a legacy of love, creativity, and familial bonds that will forever be cherished by her surviving grandchildren, Victoria, Henry, and Emily. Her memory will be eternally cherished, and her spirit will continue to inspire those who were privileged to share in her life. May she rest in peace.
