Maria Fulciniti
August 17, 1922 — June 24, 2018
Rochester:
Sunday, June 24, 2018 Passed away at 95, devoted wife to Antonio (deceased), loving mother to Rocco Fulciniti and Rose Marie Toscano and caring mother-inlaw to Tony and Christine. Her grandchildren, Branden, Stefan, Colin, Antonio, Briana, Nico (deceased) and Marika are blessed with many memories of joyful times together.
Maria was an exceptionally strong woman. As a young girl, she experienced poverty and scarcity in her native Calabria. Her marriage to Toto took place in the aftermath of WW 2 and several years later, to escape a desolate future, she boarded a steamboat with her young son to join her husband in Argentina, learning a new language and starting a new life.
When political uncertainty rocked her new country, she moved again with her young family to NYC where she worked tirelessly as a seamstress in order to give her children a brighter future.
She succeeded beyond belief, despite having to learn yet another language and culture. Her gifts to the world are many; her gifts to her loved ones are countless. She will always be remembered for her generosity, her elegance, and her unconditional love for her family.
Funeral services were held privately. To honor Maria's memory, please consider a donation to the House of Mercy, 285 Ormond St, Rochester, NY 14605 or online to http://houseofmercyrochester. org/donate/
