Mary Stella Giancola, 1933-2024

Mary was born Oct. 8, 1933, in Sulmona, Italy, the daughter of the late Antonio and Giovanna Marinucci.

She was a member of St Nicholas Church. Mary enjoyed her family, friends, gardening, cooking and sewing. She was employed as a tailor at the Weatherbee Coat Company until her retirement.

She is survived by a daughter, Mary Lou Dolson; a son, Dean (Denise) Giancola; grandchildren, Stephanie (Ben) Goldman, Brian Dolson, Jenelle (Sahile) Chawla, Nick (Natalie) Giancola; and great-grandchildren, Noelle, Noah and Nicole Giancola.

The family would like to give special thanks to Dr. Santuccio Ricciardi, who provided the best “Italian” medical guidance and care.
