Mary M. Sole, beloved mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend, passed away peacefully on March 10, 2026, at the age of 96. Born on June 21, 1929, to Joseph and Josephine Messina, Mary lived a life centered on dedication to her family, her work, and her faith.
She worked for many years as a legal office manager for Michael Riccardelli, where she was known for her professionalism, organization, and kindness to all who worked with her. Later, she continued her service to others through her involvement with the Holy Name of Jesus Church, a place that reflected the deep faith that guided her throughout her life.
Above all, Mary cherished her family. She was a devoted mother to her sons, Frank Sole and his wife Margy Capecelatro, and Mark Sole. She was a proud and loving grandmother to Tara Sole, Mark Sole, and Victoria Sole, who brought her great joy. Mary was also a cherished aunt to many nieces and nephews, including Bruce Messina, Jay Messina, Sebastian Messina, Jamie Messina, Suzie D'Sole, Patty Nardone, and Melisa Barletta-Dettling. Her warmth, wisdom, and strong sense of family left a lasting mark on each of them.
Mary will be remembered for her strength, kindness, devotion to family, and unwavering faith. Her love and guidance will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
