Think of Mary often … she was a special lady .

I have also been a patient at the Montreal West Dentistry clinic for years and to say that I disliked going to my dentist appointments is an understatement.

However, Mary always brought a smile to my face. She knew I wasn't thrilled to be there but she knew what to say to put me at ease and make it more bearable. I was very saddened and shocked to hear of her passing. I had hoped that she was enjoying a well-deserved retirement. 

Rest in peace Mary and thank you for making me laugh and being a kind soul. You will always be my bowl of sunshine.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mary. I've been a patient at the clinic for many years and it was always a joy to see and speak with her. She would show such interest in patients, so thoughtful and caring. 
I shall remember her kindness and beaming smile that greeted everyone. I am thankful for having known such a lovely person.
My deepest sympathies to family and friends.

I am so sorry to here of Mary s passing away, I was a patient of dr vincelli for many years, and Mary was always so nice and sweetly am saddened by hearing of this news, she was always in a friendly mood, and send my condolences to her husband and children and family, one day I had to get some work done , and I asked Mary , how long have u been working here and she told, and we laughed, bless her.

Today , I just heard of Mary’s passing . I have been a patient of Montreal West Dentistry since the ‘70s . I remember when Mary  first started working chairside with Dr Vincelli . Her reassurance and presence helped me tremendously with my dental anxiety . Her friendly greeting ,as you arrived , always set a relaxed tone for the visit . I was saddened to hear when she had become ill . We had a brief telephone conversation while she was recovering at home , but little did I know that would be our last . Today I had a referral to a Periodentist on the West Island and I was shocked and heartbroken when he mentioned Mary’s passing  .May all these beautiful memories be a blessing to her husband , sons and family . May she RIP ❤️😇

Maria was a wonderful person with so much tenderness and heartfelt compassion. I will remember her fondly. I celebrate her life having been touched by her care at so many appointments while she worked the reception. With warmth and love I believe her light shines brightly in our memories and hearts now and always. Love Lynn Brown ( I was touched by a true human angel, Maria)

My deepest condolences to Mary's family on their tragic loss of a wonderful wife, mother and friend.  I met Mary at the Montreal West Dentistry only a few years ago.  She was a joy.  Her broad smile coupled with her upbeat and caring personality had such a positive impact on people.  Mary will be sorely missed.

My deepest sympathy to Mary's family, her husband and sons.
Mary's middle name should of been COMPASSION, as she had the most sympathy and caring of anyone I had ever met.  She always smiled knowing that sometimes it was not easy and took the time to ask about our life and family.
What a sweet and kind person!  Heaven has now been graced with her presence after the short time we were blessed with her here on earth.

My deepest condolences to the family.  I remember Mary as a radiant, joyous and funny person who made me feel wonderful whenever I came to Montreal West Dentistry.   I especially remember sharing stories of our children and how she would beam with pride whenever she talked about her family, they meant the world to her.   I was deeply saddened to hear of her passing and feel lucky just to have known her in this small way.

Over the past 15 years, Mary always greeted my children and me with a warm, kind smile. She had such a caring spirit and an incredible ability to leave you with a sense of happiness after every conversation. My heartfelt condolences to her husband, children, and family. She will be deeply missed, and her presence truly made the world a brighter place.

My sincerest condolences for your loss. Over the last 14 years she greeted my sons and I at the dental office with such kindness, warmth and grace.  I will remember her fondly.

Dear Joe, 
I recollect how fondly you would talk about your loving wife Mary almost every time I saw you at work. Although I did not know her personally, I knew she was a wonderful wife and mother apart from all the other roles she played. My deepest condolences to you and your family and may you have the strength to go through this very difficult time.

Dear Joe,
My sincere condolences to you and your family.

So saddened by the news of Mary's passing today.

She was a such a bright light.  Whenever, I would run into her I was greeted with her warm smile and friendly open demeanor.

I'm sorry for your loss. Sending my deepest sympathies to you and the boys and the rest of the family  during this very difficult time.

Dale, Paris and Myles

Peter & I were so saddened to hear of Maria’s untimely death just before Christmas ….
We knew Maria (Mary) from her time with Dr. Vincelli when she first started & she was always so welcoming , friendly & always had a smile. We would talk about the renovations she & Pino were doing & how her boys were .  I visited her upper duplex with my sister in law , Nancy Mullins,  who was looking to move. We talked about our moving from our home after 46 years & we were now looking for a new home. 
My last appointment was March 13th  & Mary was off sick….. I was told her 60th birthday was coming up on April 26th & the staff was going to visit.  My follow up appointment was April 30th & then a cleaning in August.  I had hoped to visit her &  sent a text but never heard back…. I regret not seeing her one last time. Life seems so unfair at times.
Our thoughts & prayers are with you Pino , Angelo & Romulo. May you be comforted with the happy memories together. May she watch over you all .
Our sincere condolences, 
Wendy & Peter Gurd

As a customer of the Montreal West Dentistry, I got to know Maria over the past couple of years. She was just so kind and empathetic always positive with the warmest smile.  Often as I would walk my dog Max (see got to meet him) in the mornings, she would wave to us from her desk at the Dentistry.  I will miss her kindness and presence. My heartfelt condolences to her husband and two sons and to all the immediate family. Rest in peace dear Maria.

Joe Giannetti

I am in utter shock. Mary was always not only kind but kindhearted. She actually made me look forward to going to the dentist, which as you all know, is a tall order! I had no idea she was ill. I want to send my love and support to her family. She made the world a better place and so does her memory. We need more Mary in the world. I can only imagine how much she affected those who knew her well.

Bonjour,

C’était un réel plaisir de parler avec Mary lors  de mes visites. Elle était toujours souriante, aimable et bienveillante. Elle avait le compliment facile, un commentaire gentil pour moi et/ ou sur mes enfants. Quelle femme extraordinaire, une bonne âme!! 

Je suis vraiment attristée par l’annonce de son décès.

Mes plus sincères condoléances 💐

Caroline, Don, Katie and Alex

To family members, friends, and the Montreal West Dentistry team. Very sorry for your loss.

I will always remember Mary for her kindness and her smile. I was and always have been nervous going to the dentist. Mary always made it ok and after the appointment we would chat a while. Rest in peace Mary. We will miss you.

So saddened to hear this news. She was always a friendly and reassuring presence in the Montreal West dentist clinic. She will surely be missed. May the family be spared further sorrow.

My dearest friend Mary,  whom I have had the privilege of knowing since we were just 11 and 12 years old.

From the moment we met at the Villa,  Mary radiated a warmth and kindness that drew people to her.   She had an incredible ability to make everyone feel special and valued.   Her laughter was infectious and her smile could light up the darkest of rooms.

Throughout our years together,  Mary was more than just a friend; she was a sister,  the sister I never had, a confidante and a source of unwavering support.  We shared countless memories from the innocent days of teenage adventures to the more complex challenges of adulthood.   No matter the situation,  she faced everything with grace, strength and an unyielding positive spirit.  

Mary was a person of immense warmth and passion.  Whether it was her dedication to her work, her love for her family or her friends;  she gave her all in everything she did.  Her generosity knew no bounds and she touched the lives of so many with her selflessness and compassion.

One of the things I will miss most about Mary is always being the first,  at the top of her lungs, in wishing me a “Happy Birthday, Happy Valentines, Buona Pasqua, Merry Christmas or a Happy New Years, Ro, I love you. ”    Her ability to listen.  She had a way of making you feel like the one and only,  heard and understood, no matter what you were going through.  Her advice was always thoughtful and wise.

I will celebrate and cherish the beautiful person she was and the incredible legacy she leaves behind in her loving boys, Angelo and Romolo, her soulmate Pino and her so adored brother Dave and his children.   Her memory will continue to inspire us all to be better, kinder and more loving individuals.

Rest in peace my dear friend.  You will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Dear Pino, Angelo, Romolo & Family,

There are no words to express how sad I am on the passing of sweet Maria. My heart is broken. The only solace I have is knowing that she is not suffering anymore. Hopefully all our beautiful memories of happier times will ease the pain a little bit at a time. Our deepest condolences.
Alyson, Andrew, Sydney & Shelby
