Mary was born in Marcus Hook, PA and was the daughter of the late Vincenzo and Antonietta (Natale) DiCecco.  Mary grew up in Marcus Hook, and attended Ridley Park High School in Ridley Park, PA graduating in 1948.  She then attended Sleeper’s Business College, Chester, PA for the next two years.  Mary worked at Metropolitan Insurance where her astute skills in math helped her attain her next position at Sun Oil Inc.  In the lab, Mary worked testing crude oil samples on a Mass Spectrometer.  At the time, she was the only woman in the lab doing this type of work.

Mary and Mario had four children moving several times for Mario’s job.  In 1975 they made their final move to Westboro.  They were members of St. Luke’s Parish for over 45 years.  Mary worked as a bank teller at Shawmut Bank, and later at Westboro Savings Bank. 

Mary was a member of St. Luke’s Women’s Club and volunteered at many of the club events.  She also volunteered at the Mustard Seed in Worcester.  Mary was a gifted homemaker.  She was known for her hospitality and talents as a cook, inviting many people to her table.  Her kindness extended to everyone, and she had the unique ability to make people feel at home. Mary enjoyed her bowling league, music and big band dancing, bird watching and her pets.

Mary is survived by her children, Marie (Savelloni) LaHair and her husband Brian of Sutton, Mark Savelloni and his wife Ingrid of Manassas, VA, Michael Savelloni and his wife Elizabeth of Needham, MA and Matthew Savelloni and his wife Katy of Los Angeles, CA.
