Mary Paino (née Onorati)
Mary Paino (née Onorati) passed away peacefully at the Calvary Hospital in the Bronx, New York, on Friday April 14th, 2023. Mary was born on November 20, 1927 in New York City to the late Frank and Theresa Onorati.
Mary was the younger of two sisters, her older sister Rose predeceasing her in 2020 at the age of 97. She was also predeceased by her beloved husband, Angelo Paino (1983). She is survived by her son, Angelo Paino, Jr., and her daughter, Joan Paino McShane; her grandchildren, Angelo, Prudence, Brigitte, Kerry, and Caroline; and by her great grandchildren, Emily, Anthony, Alyssa, Christopher, Aiden, and Lucia.
Mary lived in Brooklyn for many years where she and her sister Rosie raised their families together in a warm and loving two family home. Both Mary and Rosie were excellent cooks and every Sunday was a feast of Italian home cooking and love on Brighton Court.
In her later years, Mary moved to Riverdale in the Bronx where she lived with her daughter Joan. Together, they continued to create a loving home and regularly welcomed the many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren for sumptuous meals and quality family time. No matter how busy she was, she always made time to watch Wheel of Fortune. Mary lived for her family and would do absolutely anything for them. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her!
