Born on October 26, 1935 in Jersey City, New Jersey, Mary was a loving wife, daughter, mother, grandmother and friend. She was a strong, independent woman with an admiration for all things fashion, including animal print and a nice pair of heels. She was known for her bling and her sparkle, always making everyone’s day a little brighter and of course for her love of marshmallow peeps. Mary enjoyed watching the news with a good cup of “caw”fee.

Mary married Frank Palmieri in November of

1955 and enjoyed being a stay-at-home mom to Christopher and Lisa. Later she worked as a senior librarian assistant at the Elmwood Park Library, retiring after 20 years.

Mary enjoyed spending time with her family, but especially with her grandchildren. When they moved to Maine, she followed two years later. There she enjoyed volunteering at the Walker Memorial Library in Westbrook, staying healthy at Curves, and spending time with her neighbors.

Mary is survived by her son, Christopher of New Jersey, her loving daughter, Lisa Longinetti of Westbrook, her adoring grandchildren Daniella and John, her beloved son-in-law, John Longinetti of Gorham, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
