She loved cooking, gardening and especially her tomatoes, flowers and enjoyed travel all over the world, visiting all the continents. She also truly enjoyed living at Summit Greens Community, and loved her neighbors very much who were always kind and supportive to her in her time of need. Her view from her community reminded her of her hometown in Italy.
Maria is survived by her brother and his wife, Joseph and Nancy Salvagna; nephews, John, Michael and John Salvagna; and her great nephew, Robert.
