Maria Saccomandi (nee Muzzulini)

Maria Saccomandi (nee Muzzulini), born October 12th, 1924, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her beloved family on February 2, 2024. She was born in Billerio Italy, Providence of Udine to the late Rita Giuseppe along with one sister Luisa Cravagna.

Maria was a loving wife to her husband John C Saccomandi who she first met while working as a seamstress in a Nazi War Camp. Her future husband was an American Solider that freed her war camp and brought his future wife to the United States after the war in 1948 where they raised their family.

Maria attended Bilerio High School in Italy and attended Trade School to become a Seamstress.

Although Maria was a United States citizen by marriage, she also studied and passed the test to become a Naturalized citizen; an accomplishment that made her very proud.

Maria was a loving mother to her four children, William, John, Raymond, and Rita. She was very attentive to her husband, children and grandchildren and was careful to sow her values and work ethic into their lives. She instilled the seeds of faith, diligence, and respect for others in her family.

After the passing of her husband John in 1975 Maria became a strong matriarch to her family.

Maria’s hobbies included gardening which she loved as well as taking care of her flower beds. Being a seamstress by trade she also enjoyed completing alterations for the neighborhood.

Maria leaves a legacy of love, kindness, integrity, and dedication to her large and loving family. She will be deeply missed.
