NEW--Maria Iandolo. Maria I. New died peacefully in her sleep at home on Friday, July 26, 2024. Born on December 11, 1928 in Brooklyn, New York to Esther and Loris Iandolo. Sister of the late Robert Iandolo, wife to the late Bertrand New for 40 years; mother and mother-in-law of Erica New and Alan Lerner, Daniel New and Kimberly New, Antonia New and Benjamin Zipursky; grandmother to Zachary, Claudia, Noah, Milo, Gregory, Emma, Rebecca, and Gillian; great-grandmother to Grant, Laura, Soren, and Theodore. Compassionate pediatrician, brilliant scientist, legendary teacher, and adoring grandmother, Maria was one-of-a- kind. Born into a humble Italian-American family in Brooklyn on the eve of the Great Depression, she became a member of the National Academy of Sciences and one of the world's leading Pediatric Endocrinologists, caring for thousands of children over a career that spanned almost seventy years. Her warmth and charisma left a mark on all who met her. She will be sorely missed but never forgotten.
