Mary N. Christoforo

Mary N. Annette Neborski Christoforo died peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, on Saturday, April 23 at Branford, CT Hospice. Born (November 20, 1941) and raised in Northford on the family farm, she was the oldest child of Alexander and Alexandria Neborski. Predeceased by her beloved husband of 60 years Anthony M. Christoforo

Sr. She leaves behind her children Anthony Jr., Laura Scott, David (Stacy), Daniel (Kate) and her cherished grandchildren Staci, Toni and their mom Deb, David Jr., Emma, Grayce, Jaxon, and Jordyn. She also leaves behind her sisters Barbara Ciotti (Larry), Catherine McLean, and her youngest sister Zina-Ida Neborski (Fred Leskowitz) who kept her promise to Mary that she would have someone by her side until the end. Mary was a loving woman who had close relationships with so many people including many nieces, nephews and her son’s friends who considered her a second Mom. She was easy to love! She created lots of memories with her relatives and leaves behind many extended family members as well as special friends and neighbors that she was truly fond of. Mary was a Class of ‘59 graduate of NHHS where she and Tony were king and queen of their senior prom. Go Indians forever! As a lifelong respected resident of Northford she shared her nurturing manner, love of children and many creative talents with the children at the North Branford Family Resource Center where she worked as a teacher’s assistant for over 10 years. Nothing made her happier than family time! She enjoyed spending Sundays and holidays at home or by the pool with family and friends and all were always welcome! Mary loved gardening, cooking, sewing, crocheting, and was the most efficient and organized home keeper with so many tips and tricks that she shared with anyone who needed her advice. Her generous spirit, her ability to relate to everyone, her positive outlook, and her sharp wit, which often cut through without hesitation, were legendary.

The visiting hours will be on Saturday April 30th, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at The Havens Family North Haven Funeral Home, 36 Washington Avenue with a prayer service immediately following. In lieu of flowers, a donation to a charity of one’s choice in memory of Mary would be greatly appreciated. Please log on and sign our guestbook www. northhavenfuneral.com
