Also survived by many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews all in Italy and two nephews Gaetano and Nicola Casella of North Haven; her caregiver Carolina DeFerrari who was her best friend and treated Maria like a grandmother.

A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated in Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity Parish at St. Barnabas Church, 44 Washington Avenue, North Haven at 10:00. Entombment will follow in the All Saints Mausoleum.
My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Maria. God never wanted us to suffer and die, and has a plan to soon reunite us with our loved ones that have fallen asleep in death. John 5: 28 says: “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” Revelation 21:4 speaks of a time when God will wipe out all death, suffering, mourning, outcry and pain forever, a time we can all look forward to.
So sorry to hear of Maria’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this difficult time.
