PARSIPPANY — Mary T. (nee-Fornini) DelloRusso, 47, passed away peacefully on Friday, August 17, at Care One at Hanover in Whippany.
Mary was born in Morristown and grew up in Parsippany before moving to Hanover 19 years ago.
She was a loving and dedicated homemaker whose beautiful and bubbly smile would light up any room she walked into. No matter a good day or a bad day, you would never know which Mary was having, she fought the good fight. Her days were centered around her children and her family. Mary was truly one of a kind. She raised her children by teaching them what love, faith and family values were all about. Anyone who knew Mary was truly blessed!
Through it all, Mary continued to stay active, especially with the Whippany Little League, Football and Baseball communities as well as the Mountview Road School in Morris Plains where she was an assistant to the School Nurse. Mary also enjoyed volunteering and being active with the Girl Scouts of America.

III and Denise DiGiacinto and her husband, Anthony; and her dear paternal grandmother, Mary (nee-Gaglio) Fornini; Mary also is survived by many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends that are too numerous to name but will forever miss her.
