Mary Ferrari Obituary

Mary Ferrari
06/08/1930 - 10/21/2025
Passed away peacefully on October 21, 2025, in Millbrae, California, at the age of 95.
Born on June 8, 1930, in San Francisco, California, Mary was a proud native of the city where she spent her formative years growing up on Army Street. She attended Mission High School, laying the foundation for a life rooted in community and family.
On October 17, 1954, Mary married Fred Ferrari. Together they raised two daughters: Donna ( spouse-Jim Bielenberg) and Laura (spouse - Bill Del Carlo). Mary also had two granddaughters, Jennifer and Lauren. Mary cherished her role as a mother and found joy in the bonds she shared with family.
Mary had a zest for life that was reflected in her many interests. She enjoyed bowling and was always ready for an adventure-whether cruising or traveling to new destinations. These passions brought her happiness and allowed her to create lasting memories with those around her.
Her long life was marked by resilience, warmth, and a deep appreciation for the simple pleasures of time spent with loved ones. May her memory bring comfort to those who knew her.
