It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Mary Claire Pellegrino, age 76, of Chandler, Arizona on February 6, 2023. She left us while sleeping peacefully at her residence in Chandler, Arizona.

Mary was a loving and devoted Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and Friend to all whose lives she touched. She was born to Chester and Mary Breede on April 16th, 1946, in Toledo, Ohio and at the age of 5 moved to Stratford, Connecticut where she lived and raised her family for 53 years. Mary and her Husband Tony moved to Arizona 19 years ago to be near family and of course the warm weather, which Mary loved.

Mary was predeceased by both her parents, her devoted husband Antonio, her sister Judy, and brother John.

She is survived by her son Anthony (Tony), daughter Danille, son-in law David, her four grandchildren Mark-Anthony, Jack, Faith, and Cole. Her Sister Susan, Brother Michael, Brother-in-Law Ennio, Sister-in Laws Loraine and Pierrette, many nieces and nephews and her beloved Cat Billy, all of whom she loved so very much.

Mary lived a full life, she loved spending time in the kitchen cooking for her family. Family and friends would gather around the kitchen or the large dining room table for hours sharing stories and much laughter. Mary was always ready with a full pot of coffee and an ear for listening to whatever was on your mind or for just catching up. She never made you feel like she didn't have the time for you. Most of all she loved her family and instilled in all of us love, values, trust, and honesty.

She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
