She was born in Brooklyn, New York on June 12, 1930 to James and Josephine Castiglione.  Known as “Tina” to her friends, she grew up in Brooklyn and later worked in Manhattan as a secretary.

Mary Castiglione married John Thomas Guerra in 1960 and moved to Massapequa, where they resided for nearly 60 years.  She was the mother to three wonderful children, Anthony, James and Lisa, and she raised her children with love and devotion with her husband John.

Mary was an avid reader, enjoyed doing crossword puzzles, word find and watching Jeopardy.  She always had a wonderful smile, a kind comment and boundless one liners that will be remembered by everyone who knew her.

She is survived by her loving husband of 62 years, John,  her sister Louise Felicetta, her children Anthony Guerra, James Guerra (wife Julie), and Lisa Russell (husband Randy), as well as her five loving granddaughters, Jillian, Lauren, Caroline, Elle and Katie.
