Mary Vincenza Muratore

Mary was a devoted wife who adored her late husband, Ronald F. Muratore. They shared 51 wonderful years of marriage and a love story that began in the third grade, when they met at Saint Mary’s School in Williamstown, New Jersey. Childhood friends and sweethearts, their bond was one that lasted a lifetime.

She lived her life for her family and cherished her two extraordinary children, Mario and Catrina, as well as her four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Mary was a treasured grandmother not only to her own grandchildren but to many others, as she was affectionately known by family, extended family, and dear friends as “Grandma Mary.” Her beautiful spirit and loving heart embraced and touched everyone around her.

Mary was a woman of many talents, with savvy business skills and an extraordinary work ethic. At just 25 years old, she opened and owned her own hair salon in Williamstown, New Jersey. In 1979, she and her beloved husband, Ron, moved to California. There, she became a preschool teacher and opened a school in her Temecula home, where she spent many years nurturing little minds and creating magic through her crafts, projects, and activities with the children.

In later years, Mary and Ron founded Supertoner, a company that flourished for many years and was run by the entire family—a true blessing.

Her talents blossomed in so many areas of her creative life, and everyone around her had the privilege of experiencing them. Whether through her cooking and baking, magnificent paintings, beautiful flower arrangements, or the plants she lovingly cared for, Mary had a special gift for bringing beauty into the world. She loved dancing, listening to beautiful music, and surrounding herself with the things that brought her joy.

She treasured her pets and had many precious animals throughout her life. Her two beloved kitties, Gia and Shelby, will remain in the care of family and loved ones.

Mary enjoyed spending time with good friends in her dancing group, as well as her coffee and walking groups. Her planner was constantly booked, and she was always on the go, ready for the next party, gathering, or event. You could always find her looking stunning and radiant, from her outfits and jewelry to her perfectly styled hair and makeup. She was the definition of elegance and always took pride in how she presented herself.

Mary was inspired by the world around her and loved traveling and exploring whenever she had the opportunity. She traveled throughout much of the United States and spent considerable time in Italy with her late mother, Maddalena Pizzo, where she experienced the beauty of her heritage and enjoyed time with friends and relatives.

On her most recent trip to Europe, she was accompanied by her daughter, Catrina, and granddaughter, Cecilia. Together, they shared wonderful memories and experiences that will be treasured forever.

Vincenza was preceded in death by her parents, Isidoro and Maddalena and her beloved brother Anthony.

Mary will always be remembered as the cherished wife of the late Ronald F. Muratore; devoted mother of Mario V. Muratore and Catrina Hardell; adored mother-in-law of Christina A. Muratore and Joe M. Hardell; and dear sister of Josie, Nina, Fina, and Joann.

She was a cherished grandmother to Sophia M. Muratore-Rodriguez, Cecilia G. Muratore, Joshua M. Hardell, and Jennifer M. Hardell, and a loving great-grandmother to Dominic, Payton, and Ivy Hardell, and Eisely Richburg-Hardell, all of whom brought her immeasurable laughter and joy.

A very special thank-you to Martin Jirgel, whose support and presence during this difficult time will never be forgotten. You meant so much to Vincenza, and your love and care were truly a blessing.

Heartfelt gratitude is also extended to the compassionate staff of Inland Valley Hospital ICU, Nightingale Hospice, and Miller Jones Mortuary. Your kindness, care, and support will never be forgotten.

In Mary’s own words, “God is Love” and “This too shall pass.” These were among the many expressions she shared and lived by, words that will continue to bring comfort and remind us of her spirit.

Mary was a beautiful soul whose love, creativity, generosity, and radiant personality touched so many lives. Her memory will live on in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.

May she be dancing among the clouds, reunited with her beloved Ron, and resting in God’s loving care. She will forever be loved, missed, and remembered.
