Fairport: Maria passed away peacefully on August 23rd, 2019 at Aaron Manor. She was born on August 5, 1929 in Rome, Italy, where she lived with her parents and two sisters. She was predeceased by her parents Francesco and Anna Buttarelli and her husband of 67 years, Saverio “Sam” Pascini.
Maria came to the United States as a war bride in 1946 and became a naturalized citizen in 1957. She worked from home as a seamstress. An avid reader, Maria also enjoyed cooking and travelling with her husband and family. Most of all she was a devoted mother and grandmother. She is survived by her daughters, Anna (Richard) Shearer of Webster, NY, Theresa (Jeffrey) Truax of Egg Harbor City, NJ, Louisa (Ronald) Minute of Hamburg, NY, Virginia Pfrommer of Greenville, NC and Carolyn Pascini of Penfield, NY. She was grandmother to Valerie, Eric, Sondra, Analisa, Emily, Nicholas, Marisa and Lindsey; and great-grandmother to Elizabeth, Alayna, Mackenzie, Brennan, Corbin, and Dominic. She leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews as well as many beloved friends.
The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the loving and supportive staff at Aaron Manor and the Lifetime Agency. We also wish to acknowledge the love and companionship shown by the dear friends at the Fairport Apartments to our parents and especially to mom during her last years without dad.
