Mary Louise Rocco

Born February 22, 1942, Mary Lou was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great grandmother who had a beautiful spirit and bought endless love and kindness to everyone she met. Mary Lou lived her life with grace, warmth and an unwavering devotion to her family.

A true lover of life's simple pleasures, she was an avid gardener who found peace among her flowers, and she spent countless hours creating beautiful pieces through her passion for crochet. Mary Lou was also a dedicated animal lover, but perhaps her happiest moments were spent at the beach, soaking up the sun and enjoying the warmth of the ocean breezes.

She was the deeply loving mother of Paul Rocco, Lori Hayde, Cindi Hilland and James Rocco. Her legacy of love continues through her cherished grandchildren, Jackie, Danielle, Christina, Lizzy, Ryan, Victoria and Nicholas as well as her precious great grandchildren Ava and Lucia all of whom brought her immense joy.

She will be remembered for her sassiness, radiant kindness, and the profound love she shared with her family, friends, and the many animals she cared for over the years. Her memory will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved her.

A memorial visitation will be held on Thursday, October 29, 2026, from 5:30 PM - 9:30 PM, at Claude R. Boyd–Spencer Funeral Homes, located at 448 W. Main Street, Babylon, NY 11702.
