Obituary for Mary C. Cristaudo (Leone)

Mary C. Cristaudo (nee Leone), age 87 of Mt. Royal, NJ, died Saturday, February 9, 2013 at home surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Thorofare on her family's farm along the Delaware River. When she married her husband Frank in 1947 they moved to his farm in Mt. Royal where she lived until her death. They were married for 49 years. When people stopped by Farmer Frank's Farm Market she was always proud to tell them that she started it in 1966 "with 2 baskets and a board" and in the last years of her life she enjoyed sitting in the stand talking with her customers. Mary loved to cook and bake and will be remembered for her Sunday family dinners, lemon meringue pies, 4-layered strawberry shortcakes, and homemade pasta. She also enjoyed spending the winter months with her husband in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island, FL.

Wife of the late Frank Cristaudo, she is survived by her children, Lucy (Marino) Cristaudo, Frank A. Cristaudo and his wife Linda, Fred J. Cristaudo and his wife Dolly, and Jean (Leo) Esposito and her husband Howard, 12 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren, and sisters-in-law Rose Sorbello, Mary Fichera and Blanche Leone and 40 nieces and nephews.
