Mary Civitello was a wonderful person. She was a very good friend of my mom-Joan Ciociola. They had a friendship from the time they were children until my mom´s death in 1999. RIP Mary

Dear Civitello family, Laurel and I are very sorry to hear of Mary's passing. I worked with Jack at UI he was a great friend, co-worker, and teacher. When I was working on his truck I would bring a newspaper to read at lunchtime, after reading it he would say is that Mary's paper and of course I was finished with it and I would say of course. Many times we would stop by their home in Orange. May she rest in peace.

Mary was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. I never left her room at night while taking care of you when she did not say I love you. You will be sadly missed, always a smile never a bad thing to say. Heaven has a wonderful angel. God Bless you Mary it was a pleasure being one of your nurses
