While I’ve only known Aunt Mary for the last 8 years, she made certain to make me feel loved and like I was part of the family from the very beginning. She also loved my son Johnathan and he loved her more than I could even begin to describe. She always made a point to know what was happening in the lives of those she loved and made sure each and every one of us knew how proud she was of us. We are all blessed beyond measure to have had her in our lives. I will treasure every memory and every story that is told when the family gathers for the rest of my life.

God Saw You Getting Tired
God saw you getting tired,
And a cure was not to be;
So he put his arms around you,
And whispered, “Come to me”.
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away;
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
If tears could build a stairwell
And heartaches make a lane,
We would walk the road to heaven
And bring you home again.

We would like to take just a few minutes to say some words of remembrance for
our mom.
There is so much that we could say about mom. When we thought about putting
together some words of remembrance, we found ourselves kind of overwhelmed
with where to start. As we are sure is true for most, there is so much we would
want to share. So, we decided to capture her with statements of who she was as
a person
So…. who was Mary Cocuzzi Malley?
She Was:
The best mother that anyone could ever ask for.
We feel so blessed to have had such an amazing mom.
She showed her love for us in so many ways and always ended every
phone call (no matter how brief a conversation) with “Love Ya!”
Always proud of her family and made sure that we all knew it. She loved
any time that her family was together, and often was the life of any
gathering. She would always look around the table, and with a nod would
say, “this is what makes me happy.”
Generous beyond measure and would always make sure that she was being
fair.
Amazingly forgiving, and looked for the good in every individual.
Fiercely independent and beat to her own drum.
A woman of strong conviction and not afraid to stand up for what she
believed in.
A woman with a strong moral compass that drove and guided all her
decision making throughout her life.
A woman of tremendous faith and would often say to us: “The Lord is in
charge and I leave it in his hands”. In times of struggle, loss and sadness,
mom would always say: “I am offering this up to the Lord for all who may
be going through hardship.”
Able to find joy and blessings in each day, regardless of how she was
feeling.
When you hear these qualities and characteristics of mom what resonates is how
they encompass the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirt, which are:
1. Wisdom
2. Understanding
3. Counsel
4. Fortitude
5. Knowledge
6. Piety
7. Awe and Wonder of the Lord
It was clear to all who knew her, that mom was filled with the Holy Spirit and
modeled these gifts in all that she did.
Our mom wrote a poem about when she would no longer be here. None of us
wanted to read this poem when she was alive, though she did ask a couple of
times. We want to honor her with reading it here today.
Mom wrote this on June 27, 2013. Her foot note at the end says:
“I was inspired to write this one morning, when I experienced quite a strong sense
of peace and contentment……. thanks to the Holy Spirit.”
When I Sleep
When I lay me down to sleep, please, dear family, do not weep.
But remember, rain or shine, that your hearts were always with mine.
Some days were happy, some were sad.
To have lived them together should make us treasure what we had.
Your days ahead will be an endeavor, but know this my loves,
I’ll be with you forever!
Mom loved God and she loved her family. Mom, you will always live within each
of us always.
We love you.
Rest in Peace. Sue, Barb & Ron

Auntie was a one of a kind woman and will never be forgotten.
If you went off of technicalities she was my great aunt but she was as close to a grandmother as you could get. After my grandma (her sister) passed away in 2009, Auntie slipped right into the role of grandma and called us her treasures all the while telling us stories about our grandmother and telling us how much she missed her sister. She was our family's treasure and you could feel her love for you when you would sit around a dinner table with her and she would take a good long look at everyone and then say with tears in her eyes "this is what I love, my family together and laughing" meanwhile we were the lucky ones.
I also got to call her my neighbor my whole life. When I was mad at my parents I would run away to Auntie's house, when we had a big snow storm we would go sledding down her hill in the backyard, when it was warm out we would roll down that same hill and I even learned to ride my bike without training wheels on that hill while she cheered me on the whole way. The best days during the summer were when Auntie could come over and swim in our pool. She taught us how to do the side stroke, watched us do dozens of jumps in and out of the pool and even when she wouldn't come over to come swimming if she saw us outside she would pop her head out the door, scream from across the lawn "Hi sweetie pies!" blow us a big kiss and end with her signature "love ya!"
She loved to cook and would often cook way more than she needed to so she could call over and say "I made food for you guys, meet me halfway" and so we would meet on the lot line, get a big hug and a kiss and a variety of foods including some of the best homemade italian bread, pasta fagioli, and her famous chicken noodle soup. We checked on her with nightly phone calls and she checked on us by looking to see what cars were in the driveway or what lights were on in the house. I couldn't ask for a better neighbor.
More than her love of cooking, Auntie loved to eat! When my grandma was alive she loved taking my brother and I out to lunch with our grandmother, it was usually to Perkin's (she loved a good breakfast), but she would also try all sorts of different restaurants, gripping a coupon from the entertainment book, jokingly banging her fork and knife on the table two minutes after we ordered saying she was hungry, and demanding to pay (if we didn't let her pay, she would threaten to never come out to lunch again).
Auntie came to every concert, every event, every ceremony she could from my preschool graduation all the way up to graduating with my bachelor's degree in childhood education from her alma mater. I won't say that she was the only factor when it came to picking a school and a career but she definitely had her influence. When I struggled in my classes, she was the first one to pick me back up and say "this is what you are meant to do, don't give up." I can say without a shadow of a doubt I would not be where I am today if it were not for her.
My heart is forever broken since losing Auntie but I know that she is right back where she belongs with her sister and her dogs. I love you so much Auntie, I will forever miss you but I will also smile and laugh as I pass on your memories, your stories and your jokes (yes, even the duck joke). May God bless you and keep you, always.

As her grandson let me warn that this may come out a bit biased, but she was an all around incredible woman and one of the best grandmothers anyone could ask for. She had a huge heart and cared about everyone around her — not only her family but her friends, her neighbors, her children, her grandchildren, her (great) nieces and nephews, and her students from when she was a teacher. Despite being retired from the classroom for some time she was always a teacher. Two times a year she’d bring the entire family together for a get together and together we’d all enjoy each others company, great food, and most of all, her company. She was the glue but also is the glue that will forever keep us together. She brought people together. She made us all laugh, lit up a room with her joyful face and boisterous “hey” when entering a room or talking to her on the phone.
Towards the end she loved her word games. I’ll never forget the many nights when first setting her up with a computer the Skype video calls we had with her and my family. (And the all-to-common 2am “Mary is online” pop up from Skype.)
While physically she may no longer be here anymore for us to be able to visit her or call her on the phone, I know and have no doubt she is watching us with great love (and scrutiny to make sure we keep all her freezer items and wrapping paper she’d insist we saved !!) and will be with each and every person who she meant something to.
I love you grandma, and I will miss you and our time together working on the yard as you would tend to your garden, our time watching Adam 12, and just talking about history, science, and politics, but do not worry about us. I know you’re with your sister, parents, friends and family as well as your beloved Bosco, Louie and Teddy and all our wonderful four legged family members no longer with us. I’ll forever be grateful for our time together. And one day, I know we’ll be reunited together and I look forward to that. But in the meantime I will take the time to try and be the best I can be and to look for the many signs you’ll be leaving us along the way. I love you Grandma, God bless and keep you.

There are so many memories that I have of Mama Malley. She was hilarious and lit up a room. She adored her family and welcomed me into it. She treated me like one of her own. I will so miss you Mama. Love you❤️

My Grandma Malley brought light and joy into every room she entered. She was a very goofy woman, who always cracked jokes that made the room erupt into laughter. But it wasn’t just the jokes she told that left us laughing; it’s the stories we share about my Grandma that make us laugh too. I’ll never forget hearing the story of my Grandma wearing her late-friend Alice’s underwear to the doctor’s office. Funnily enough, this underwear was embroidered with Alice’s name. After Grandma’s check-up, the doctor told her he just had two questions. He asked, “who is Alice, and why is she on your underwear?” Not only was my Grandma a very funny woman (I mean, it’s not every grandma that shares her thoughts on how attractive she finds Jesus), my Grandma was also an inspiration. She was an incredible teacher, and is one of the reasons I am pursuing a career in teaching, myself. She was extremely independent and strong, always cutting her own lawn on her John Deer mower. She was wise, creative, funny, quirky, artistic, musical, and an overall amazing woman. I am glad I got to grow up with her as my Grandma for twenty-one years, to the day. I will forever wish I had more time to sit in her house and hear her stories, but I will always be thankful for the time I did have. God bless and keep you.

From the first moment I met Grandma Mary there was a feeling of love. As a young teenager joining her family I was welcomed, I was loved, and I was accepted. She inspired me to teach and she made me laugh. I will always share her spirit and stories with my girls so that she lives on within us. Rest peacefully GG Mary….you will be missed. Love you.
