elevated 9epmh Obituary
elevated 9epmh It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mary, on Saturday May 11, 2024, at the age of 72. She met her dementia diagnosis and progression with bravery and grace. Mary left the loves of her life, her devoted husband of 51 years Sonny and her beloved caring son Mike. She was the cherished daughter of Mike and Concetta Calderone, and twin to Gus Calderone (Tricia Cain). Mary will always be lovingly remembered by her large extended family and many close friends. Mary was a dynamo, small in stature but large in life with immense spirit. Her kindness and generosity for everyone knew no bounds. She was always willing to lend a helping hand. Mary changed the lives of the people she met. We are all richer for having known her, and the world is a poorer place with her passing. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada.
To my beautiful cousin I’m going to missed you so much I love you so much until we see each other again may you rest in peace 💙🙏🏼🦋💙🙏🏼🦋
Mary my heart is so broken over your passing…!!💔😪
Its hard to believe, you & I will no longer be having our usual long telephone chats, I’m so thankful for having so many really good childhood memories with you and a whole lot of fun with sleep overs, and I will never ever forget everything you & Sonny did for me in my young age, like even taking me to see Sonny Sonny & Cher concert LIVE.
Mary you Rocked a “Classy Rock ”for anyone that entered the room.
Mary you were a very close cousin to me all my life and very classy cousin and I’m crying buckets over you Girl,
I will see you one again, just not too soon, but I will be there with you and all our family enjoying the good life up one day. Give all our love to your parents and Sonny’s parents and sister Linda too. 🙏🏼
I love you always, I will never ever not think of you in my day, my phone won’t work now bc I can’t call Mary!
All us girls miss you and love you so much but for now this is a very very hard good bye with my broken heart, shedding buckets for you Bella.
💔😪🙏🏼
I will love you always Sweet Mary and always in my heart forever til we meet again soon.
RIP 💞✨🙏🏼🩷🕊️
My beautiful Commara Mary, my heart is broken to hear you left us so soon. I will miss our talks about our Royal Family. Thank you for your kindness and love.
Rest my beautiful friend.
Love,
Rosemary and Frank Lanni
With a heavy heart we will miss your beautiful smile, and your friendship. Rest in peace. May the Good Lord look after.
My dear Sister Mary 🙏
Life will not be the same without you in it 💔
Till we meet again sweet Angel 👼
Love Sister Vita xoxo
My sincerest condolences to the Rawlawski/Calderone families. Mary will be missed.
Tricia and Gus,
I remember meeting Mary when you were married and while I didn’t really know her, I am only too familiar with how Alzheimer’s can change the person you love into someone you barely know. On behalf of Jennifer and I, please accept our deepest sympathies for your loss.
