Mary Elizabeth Angrisano

Mary was born on February 1st, 1978 and passed on May 30th, 2022

She is preceded by her mother, Martha Marie Katz Angrisano, and her father, Jack Dixon Angrisano, and grandparents on both sides. She is survived by her son, Jack Ladner; brother Tracy Angrisano and his wife and close friend of Mary’s, Lisa; brother Tim Angrisano; sister Jennifer Angrisano; nieces Anna Marie Angrisano, Jeri Ann Angrisano, and Krista Angrisano; nephews Joseph Wayne Angrisano and Anthony Angrisano; and numerous friends and acquaintances that Mary has touched in her short life through the years. Traditional obituaries suggest a short biography, detailing schools attended, degrees, accomplishments, etc. But I honestly do not think that this is how Mary needs to be described, nor do I think that this is how Mary herself would want to be remembered. Mary would want us all to remember Mary the Person. That person being her energetic and contagious personality, with the ability to get a smile out of anyone, regardless if they are sad, stressed out, mad at the world, worried, anxious, or any other emotion. After sitting with her for an hour or two, listening to music, shooting the breeze talking about everything and nothing at the same time, you could take a deep breath and you actually felt better. I don’t think that it’s something she set out to do on purpose, that was just her. That is just a talent and gift from a beautiful person to whomever she was around whenever she was around. Not many people have that ability or gift, but she did and that is something she would want to be remembered for. Mary was also one of the most loving human beings around who genuinely cared for all those near and close to her, but especially her family and her son, Jack. She was not hesitant to show her emotions, good or sometimes bad, because she wanted you to know how she felt, and how she felt about you. But above all, she wanted you to know that she genuinely cared and loved you. Mary was the mirror image of her mother, both in looks and personality, and the loss of her mother was especially devastating for her. But she kept the memory of her mother alive during the years afterwards through her son Jack, whom she loved and cherished more than anything imaginable. She made sure that Jack knew who his grandmother was and how much she loved him. I know that this made my mother very proud of Mary, and the bond between them would never be broken. Mary’s energetic and fun loving personality, along with her true, deep, and genuine love for all those around her, especially her family, is what she would want to be remembered for. I actually think that she would feel guilty for the sadness her passing has caused, because she truly wanted you and everyone to be happy. That special gift of hers to be able to make you smile or laugh, no matter the reason or circumstance, is how she needs to be remembered by all the people that she touched over the years of her shortened life. For her little “Jack-Man”, as she so often called him, your mama loved you with all her heart and soul. She is sorry that you are so sad and wishes she could just squeeze you tight, and tell you she loves you and it will be ok. Close your eyes Jack-Man, and keep her in your memories every day, and you will never be alone. She will always be there to hold and comfort you. To my Baby Sis Mary, from all of us left here without you now, we love you so much and will carry you in our hearts and minds forever. We miss you dearly.
