Native San Franciscan Mary Ann Macario was born of Italian immigrant parents, Antonio and Leonilde Stephani Pugliesi, on March 12, 1933, and passed from this life on April 9, 2013.

She was the wife of Al Macario and beloved sister to Peter Pugliesi, Antonette Pugliesi and Julio Pugliesi, who all preceded her in death.

Mary is survived by her son Craig Lavezzo, and many nieces and nephews.

She retired from Bank of America as a banking collections specialist. They moved to Blue Lakes in August 1977 and were active in the Water Club and Beach Owners Association.

Al and Mary were members of the Sons of Italy; Mary worked as a hostess and cashier at the Robinson Rancheria Casino Restaurant for years. Mary was a member of Hopland American Legion Auxiliary Unit 529.

She was visited in the last few days by Betty Pugliesi and her children Raymond Pugliesi, Julie McKnight, great-niece Lydia McKnight and great-nephew Vincent Pugliesi, which delighted Mary.
