Mary will always be remembered with love by her family and her many devoted friends.
Mary was born Dec. 29, 1914 in Bugnara, Italy, the daughter of Salvatore and Concetta LaMarca DiTommaso and moved to Campbell with her family in 1946.
For 29 years Mary was employed by Weatherbee Coats.
She was a member of St. Lucy Church where she was a volunteer in the Friday kitchen helping with pizza, bread, and cookie projects as well as helping with the card parties, spaghetti dinners and parish festivals.  She was a dedicated member of the St. Lucy Infant Jesus of Prague Guild and the Altar and Rosary Society.
Keeping touch with her Italian heritage, Mary was also a member of the Bugnarese Society.
Mary loved to bake cookies and especially enjoyed sharing them with her grandchildren and her many friends.  Those who knew her and loved her treasured her ready smile and caring ways.
Mary leaves to cherish her memory, her daughter, Liana (Mike) Berardino of Campbell, with whom she made her home; her daughter-in-law, Patricia; her grandchildren, Dr. Thomas DiVito of Poland, Dr. Jean (Dr. Mark) Kneuper of McQueeney, Texas, Marilyn (Adam) Tzagournis of Columbus, Robert Berardino of Cuyahoga Falls and Dr. Anthony Berardino of Madison; she also leaves her great-grandchildren, Kayla and Cameron DiVito, Robby and Katie Kneuper and Ali, A.J. and Krissi Tzagournis.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Frank, whom she married on April 26, 1931, he passed away June 27, 1978, and her son Anthony.
Mary’s family wishes to thank the staff of Hospice House for their compassionate care.
The DiVito family has entrusted their loved one to the care of the Wasko Funeral Home and will receive friends Sunday from 5-8pm, where there will be a prayer service at 4:45pm.
