Mary A. Carbone

Mary A. (Uglietta) Carbone, a renowned hard worker, and a quiet helper to many, passed away at the age of 91 in Kennebunk, ME, on May 29, 2023. Born in Gaeta, Italy, on March 2, 1932, Mary moved to the United States as an infant and was raised in Somerville, MA. As an adult, she settled in Tewksbury, where she and her husband raised their family.

Mary was always on the move and loved traveling, but her greatest joy came from spending time with her family. She enjoyed holidays and summers in Maine, where she savored beach and pool time, shared food and laughter, and entertained everyone with her stories and jokes. She loved playing cards and enjoyed teaching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren to play too.

Mary is survived by her daughter, Gaetana (Gae) Carbone (Becky Palmer) of Kennebunk, ME, her son John Carbone, her sister Rosalie Uglietta of Medford, and many cherished loved ones, including her grandchildren: Christina Carbone (Cale Wingfield), Jennifer Carbone, Christopher Carbone (Lauren Luttrel), Jessica Carbone, Danielle Cuskey (Tom Wanner), (Dawn Brow), and Jason Cuskey (Frankie Cuskey), as well as her great-grandchildren: Meinard Cuskey, Jordyn Misha, and Nicholas Misha. She also leaves behind her "adopted family", Cheryl Schofield and Jeffrey Edson, many nieces, nephews, friends, and poker buddies. Mary is predeceased by her parents, three brothers, and her husband, John J. Carbone, Sr.

As per Mary's request, a Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, June 27, at 1:00 pm at the Tewksbury/Wilmington Elks Lodge, 777 South St. Tewksbury, MA. The family welcomes relatives and friends to join them.

In lieu of flowers and in honor of Mary's kindness and generosity, the family asks that you be kind to someone in your community. Reach out to a friend or relative, forgive someone, or visit a shut-in or assisted living resident. Every act of kindness counts.

The family encourages people to sign the digital guestbook and share a memory of Mary. There will also be a chance to share a story at the Celebration of Life for those interested.
