Maria Mazzoni Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Maria Mazzoni was born on January 25, 1927 in a small town close to Genova, Italy called Pietranera. She married Carlo Giacomo Mazzoni on November 11, 1948 after he returned from five years of service in World War II. With their two children they immigrated to the United States in October of 1967, thanks to the sponsorship of Carlos’s sister and brother-in-law Marie and Charles Capellini, with whom they lived for one year. From 1968 to 1986 they lived in the Bronx, where Maria had different jobs, including cleaning offices, seamstress, cook and caretaker for Our Lady of Grace rectory. In 1986, Maria, Giacomo, and their two children, Luisella and Massimo, bought a home in Yorktown Heights. Maria and Carlo lived happily married for 59 years until his death on August 27, 2006. Maria is survived by her loving daughter, Luisella Mazzoni, who took care of her for the last 13 years and her loving son and daughter-in-law, Massimo and Diane Mazzoni. She is also survived by her three beloved grandchildren, Cristina (Gregory) Kelly, Steven Mazzoni and Matthew Mazzoni and four adored great-grand children, Bryanna, Tyler and Oliviya Kelly, and Logan (Denise and Ken) Alvarado. Maria had many nephews and nieces also living in Yorktown Heights, Aldo and Lorraine Capellini and their families, Rosanna Capellini and her family, Alessio and Rosa Capellini and their families, Antonio, Laura and Giorgia Mazzoni (Italy), Giorgio and Bruna Mazzoni and their families (Italy), and Giannino and Maria Mazzoni and their families (Italy). In addition to family, Maria had many close friends that she met through St. Patrick’s Church and the Yorktown community. We thank all of them for their love and support. Nonna Maria will be missed dearly by all of us, but we take solace knowing that she is with God and Nonno Giacomo, the love of her life, praying and watching over us each and every day.
