Mary Fusco
February 8, 2017 Age 88
Beloved wife of the late Ray Fusco for 59 years.
Cherished mother of Valentina (David) Craig and Victoria (Gary) Caddy and the late Patricia and Anthony Fusco.
Proud "Nonni" of Patti Ramos, Marianne and Frank Caddy.
Sister of Bernadine (and the late Benny) Ciccarelli, the late Joseph Iannotta and Jane (and the late Leonard) Ferro.
Sister-in-law of Eleanor Pizzino and the late Lucille Orlewicz, John and Valentino Fusco.
Mary is survived by many loving nieces, nephews, and friends.
Mary cherished her family throughout her life and made friends wherever she went as people gravitated towards her personable ways. She enjoyed weekend "girl trips" with her daughters and granddaughters, crossword puzzles, and playing her favorite card game: Shanghi Rummy. She was proud of her Italian heritage and was a wonderful cook, filling her kitchen with scrumptious smells of eggplant parmesan, homemade pizza, and fresh pressed pizzelles. Anyone who visited Mary's home never left hungry! Mary was feisty, opinionated, and held true to what she believed in. She told stories of growing up as a young girl in Pittsburgh, all the while giving sound advice to everyone she met, from her family to her hairdresser. Mary was a devout Catholic, and her faith was a pillar of strength throughout her life. Mary's generous and thoughtful ways will be missed by all.
