Born February 24, 1931 in Kansas City, Kansas to Sam Sacco of Carlantino, Italy and Georgia McManaway of Fuller, Kansas, Mary graduated 8th grade at age 14 and stayed at home to care for her 2 sisters, Rose and Juanita, after their mother passed away. She met the love of her life, Peter Paul, and married at the age of 16. They celebrated 68 wedding anniversaries together.
Mary cared for her very best friend’s baby, Michele, from 11 months to 6 years until they moved to California, then raised 2 daughters of her own, Anita and Paula. She was a proud Grandma of 7 and close to her 5 great-grandchildren in Blue Springs.
Predeceased by her devoted husband Paul, brother Sam, and grandson Sean.
Mary kept an immaculate house, enjoyed traveling, was highly skilled with crochet hooks and taught herself to play the piano beautifully. Most of all she loved her family and instilled strong values. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
