Maria Giuseppina Zandarin

Born on November 7, 1929, in Foggia, Italy, Maria lived a long and meaningful life defined by her unwavering love for her family, her generous spirit, and the traditions she carried with her from her homeland.

Maria was the devoted mother of her three beloved sons: John (Elaine), Joe (Mojgan), and Corrado (Linh). She was a cherished and loving Nonna to Jonathan, Andrew, Alexander, Kayla, Joshua, Luke, Sophia and greatgranddaughter, Zoe, each of whom brought her immense pride and joy.

Maria is now reunited with her beloved husband, Luigi Zandarin, who predeceased her in 2018. Together, they built a loving family and shared a lifetime of cherished memories.

Maria found her greatest happiness in caring for those she loved. She was an exceptional cook whose kitchen was the heart of every family gathering. Whether preparing homemade pasta, traditional Italian dishes, or holiday feasts, she expressed her love through every meal she served. Her home was always filled with warmth, laughter, and the comforting aromas that brought generations together. Nothing meant more to her than spending time surrounded by her family.

Her kindness, strength, wisdom, and unconditional love will be deeply missed by her family, relatives, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her legacy lives on in the values she instilled, the traditions she preserved, and the countless memories shared around her table.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has offered love, support, and prayers during this difficult time.

Forever in our hearts, always in our memories.
