Mary Wasik

It is with sadness that the family of Mary Wasik of Greenwich, CT announces her passing on

Tuesday October 15, 2024. Mary was born on January 22, 1921 in Stamford, CT, daughter of

Anthony Della Ventura and Rose Delucia Della Ventura. She attended the Stamford school

system.

The matriarch of the family, Mary devoted her time and energy to caring for loved ones,

consistently cooking homemade meals on a nightly basis with everyone gathered around the

dinner table. As her siblings, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren were always close

to her heart, she cherished time together with her large, extended family, whether it was for a

holiday visit, or a casual Saturday visit with her sisters.

Mary was always full of energy, lending a helping hand to all who needed it. As her children got

older, she channeled that energy into work beyond the household in the cafeterias of nearby

schools. She was hardworking and took pride in doing the very best at her job.

Later in life, she was especially proud of helping to raise her beloved grandchildren Brian and

Greg. She was also a proud and active member of the St. Paul Catholic church community.

Mary was the type of person who put her heart and soul into whatever she did, and put all her

love in her marriage and family relationships. She had a sense of humor with an infectious

laugh, always kept active, and often put others before herself. May God bless this strong and

loving woman.

Mary was a devoted wife to her late husband Stanley Wasik, loving mother to (and is survived

by) son Gary Wasik, son Allan Wasik, and daughter Karen Perna, and caring Grandmother to

(and is survived by) Brian Wasik, Gregory Wasik, Jeffrey Wasik, Christopher Wasik, Michael

Wasik, Kimberly Perna, and Joseph Perna. She is also survived by five great grandchildren.

Family and friends will be received on October 22, 2024 from 11am to 1pm at Lacarenza Macari

Family Funeral Home, 8 Schulyer Avenue, Stamford, CT. Burial will immediately follow at St.

Mary’s Cemetery at 35 Parsonage Rd, Greenwich, CT.
