elevated OBs8X Obituary
elevated OBs8X It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Mary Rossetti-Longarini on October 29, 2024, at the age of 64. Loving wife to Joe. Proud mother to Michael (Jenna), Zachary (Olivia) and Jessica. Loving Nonna to Evan, Levi, Aria, Darian and Violet.
elevated OBs8X A deeply caring woman and someone who valued helping others over her own needs, she pursued every challenge in life with compassion and determination to help. Her selflessness was no better seen than through the love and sacrifice she gave to her children and extended family. A love fashioned by the shining example her parents, Pasquale and Dolores, immigrants to Canada, strived to create with their new life. From driving to countless sporting events, multi generational family dinners or just words of guidance, she would never shy from doing or saying what was needed to help someone she loved (whether they wanted to hear it or not!).
Her smile warmed the heart of everyone she met. Mary will be sadly missed and held dear in the hearts of her many extended family and friends. She will be lovingly remembered and never forgotten.
elevated OBs8X In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in honour of Mary Rossetti-Longarini can be made to Waves of Changes for Autism. A charity she worked closely with in the Vaughan Community.
My deepest condolences to the Rossetti- Longarini families. May Mary she rest in eternal peace free of pain. 🙏🏽

I am so sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. She was so young, but now her Angels are near. I was fortunate to have worked with Mary for a few years at York, and truth be told, Mary put as much heart and soul into her work as she with her family. Her contributions were invaluable and always appreciated. My sincere condolences to all of Mary’s family and friends.
Condolences from me and my family . Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family on the loss of a great wife and mother who will be sadly missed by all .

Hope to come back home and see you and your family soon

Joe, à tes enfants et petits enfants, à Louisa sa soeur,
Vally, Claude, Véronique et moi, ses cousines et cousins d’Italie et de France nous assoçions pour vous présenter nos plus sincères condoléances. Nous savions que Mary oeuvrait pour Waves of Changes for Autism et qu’ainsi elle accompagnait avec beaucoup d’engagement les patients et leurs familles au quotidien. Nous ne nous sommes jamais rencontrés mais sachez que nous pensons à vous tous en ce moment de douleur.
I didn’t know Mary well but I know her son, Michael. A man of great integrity, vision and kindness. If he is any testament to Mary’s character, I am simply blown away. What an amazing woman, to have dedicated time to groups with special needs and to have raised such a loving family. My deepest condolences to the Longarini family for an enormous loss. Holding you close.
My deepest condolences to the family. May her memories bring you peace and may her soul be at rest.
Our deepest condolences to Mary’s loved ones ♥️ May she rest in peace.

Joe, I want to express my deepest condolences on the loss of your Mary.

Ma mère Maria et son frère Pasquale s’écrivaient régulièrement. Même si nous nous sommes jamais vus j’ai des photos de Mary et de vous. Je suis très attristé par la perte de Mary et j’imagine la douleur que tu ressens. Mes sincères condoléances à toi et à ta famille.Claude
Our deepest condolences to you and your family. Mary was a very special person and will be missed by all. Her memory will live on in your hearts.
I just learned of Mary’s passing and am saddened I was not able to attend and offer her family my deepest condolences. Mary was my right hand at York. She was a brilliant force of nature. I was so honoured and happy to have her in my court. I’m sorry I lost touch over the years. Mary loved her family dearly and I enjoyed her family stories. One of my favourite was Joe coming home with a giant wreath for Christmas decor. What ever became of that? Sending prayers to the family during this difficult. RIP my friend.
My deepest condolences goes out to Mary’s family and friends. I worked with Mary at York’s Housing department for a few years and I can honestly say, I learned a lot from Marys work ethic. Not only was Mary very dedicated to her job, she was also a kind and caring person. I will always remember when Mary arranged a TFC game time experience for my son through her daughter Jessica. Thank you Mary My thoughts and prayers go out to the family during this difficult time.
