Mary was born in the Bronx on January 31, 2015. She raised three children with her husband Joe in Belmont. Mary now resides in Pelham Bay with her son Frank and his family. Mary’s in remarkably good shape for her age. Her secret to her longevity is ‘dont’t worry about the things you cannot change; get lots of rest; and eat fruits, vegetables, and lots of macaroni.
