Born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, Mary was the fourth of nine children by Eugenio and Ana Peralta. She was preceded by sisters Carmen and Josie, and brother Eugenio, Jr. She was followed by brothers Henry, Rodolfo, Cristoval, Carlos and David.
Mary was a loving daughter, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt. She had two daughters, Vicky Rossi and Lisa Rossi, and six grandchildren: Ashton, Darrian, Baylee, Brandon, Christopher and Alexandria. She also had two great-grandchildren, Coen and Logan, a dozen nieces and nephews, and many more grandnieces and grandnephews. All loved her deeply.
Mary was always smiling, upbeat and spunky. Everyone loved being around her. She loved to be on the go, dining out, playing Bingo and cards, drinking coffee, and blasting Mexican music in her car. It was common for her to show up at a family member’s house, make coffee, and watch a good movie. Family was everything to her.
Mary was a selfless person, always thinking of others and always the first to offer help. Every time she got a bonus from work or Bingo winnings, she insisted on taking the whole family out to eat. She would literally give the shirt off her back if someone needed it. She was generous to a fault.
Everyone who knew Mary was enriched by her presence, and all are diminished by her loss.
Mary is survived by her daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren; her sister Josie, her brother David and his wife Sallie.
She is with God and her family that went before her. She will be sorely missed but live on in our hearts and memory.
In Memory of Mary flowers can be sent to Willow Glen Funeral Home 1039 Lincoln Ave San Jose CA 95125. Deliveries can be schedule July 18th or 19th before 10:00 a.m.
