We never had to worry about what you were thinking because you always "told it like it is." You will be missed by those who knew you. May you rest in the peace of God's eternal care.

I have known Mary since I was a little girl. She was the grandmother I never had. Now over 30 years later, I am proud to call her my friend. She was beautiful inside and out, strong, smart, wise, honest and loving. She taught me so much about life. She will be missed more than words can express.

I first met Mary in September of 2003 when selling her home at 26 W Court Drive in Centereach. Mary was always young at heart. As time passed, we had spent much time together either at the kitchen table or on the phone. After Mary moved to Locust Valley to be with Louise, we continued to keep in touch, mostly on the phone and notes to each other. Occasionally, I would visit, now I wish I had more often. There was never lack of conversation when we spoke. Mary's laughter was always a part of our chats and from the sound of her voice, you would never know the challenges that she faced on a daily basis. We always talked about her son Joe and daughter Louise. She adored her grandsons, always wishing the best for them and cherishing the great-grandchildren. She was always on the ball, a very wise, caring and compassionate woman. I will never forget what a special lady she was! I feel blessed that she touched my life.

Mary will live on in our memory always. We are thankful that she was able to be with the whole family at our home this past Thanksgiving. She always looked beautiful when she went out for a visit. Hair done and makeup on was a must. Laughing with Mary was contagious, once she got started you couldn't help but join in. She will be missed. Love, Fred & Nancy

When my cousin, Steve, first started dating Louise (forty years ago) I used to love going to Louise's house because I enjoyed her mother Mary so much. Mary was so hard-working and strong, and yet incredibly kind and gentle. But most of all, Mary was wise and that wisdom made her seem so cool. It was always so easy to talk to Mrs. Solfaro...and she always gave the best advice. Her enchanting and vibrant personality will be missed.

I met Mary over 30 years ago. Mary offered advice and was always there for me. She was caring, generous, and always young at heart. Mary was my best and dearest friend. She will always be in my heart and prayers.

Melissa posted a condolence

Mary was always a very inspiring person and always had wonderful words of wisdom. She prided herself on her family and all of the people who made a difference in her life. Mary was not a shrinking violet and definately held her own and also stood up for people who could not stand up for themselves. She was a wonderful woman with many stories of war,childhood,life and friends. She loved her children,grandchildren and greatgranchildren and treated everyone equal......anyone who has had the opportunity to know Mary has been blessed with a wonderful inspiring experience...i know I was. Sincerely, Melissa
