Mary DeGennaro of Wayside peacefully passed away in her home June 13. Mary was born Sept. 2, 1928 to the late Salvatore and Luisa Vaiti and was one of five siblings. She was well traveled, a long-term member of Deal Golf & Country Club and a dedicated mother and spouse. Her door was always open. She entertained family and friends, whether planned or unplanned, effortlessly. Nights spent eating, laughing and telling stories around the table will be missed by all.
It is said that when two souls fall in love there is nothing else but the desire to be close to one another; Mary and Frank were no exception. On the morning of June 13 Mary reunited with her true love whom she lost the year prior.
Mary was predeceased by her brothers, Dominic, Victor and Louis Vaiti. She is survived by her sister Teresa Beneducci of Red Bank. She will be dearly missed by her daughter Cathy Sutley, West Long Branch; son Alfred DeGennaro, Wayside; her grandsons, Art Sutley, Hoboken and Jeff Sutley, his wife Melissa and two great grandsons Jeffrey Jr. and Hunter, Wyckoff; sister-in-law Suzie Vaiti, Lincroft; and many nieces and nephews.
“Your heart is a warm and loving place;
a place of refuge, a place of strength,
a place of joy, and wisdom.
Thank you for being a beautiful blessing.”
We love you and miss you always.
