Obituary of Maria Galdorise

GALDORISE Maria, It is with a heavy heart we announce the passing of our beloved Maria Galdorise, wife, mother, and nanny. Born February 12, 1947 in Queens, New York, she was one of three children born to John Felix and Yolanda Violet Ruggiero. Maria, 77, will be deeply missed by her husband, William, her three children, Eve Maria, Billy, and Michael, and her five grandchildren, Gianna Maria, Isabella Maria, Anthony, Gabriella, and Ava. Maria is preceded in death by her parents and sister, Phyllis. Maria’s love was evident in all she did. Her passion for animals was apparent in her long line of pets: Marcy, Smokey, Scotty, Maci, Pippen, Luca, Tori, Cooper, Stella, and Oreo the cat. Maria enjoyed cooking and baking endlessly for everyone and donated to charities involving children, veterans, animals, and families in need. No one was ever a stranger to Maria. Her infectious smile, laughter, and ability to love passionately was contagious to those who met her. Maria left a legacy of unconditional love to all. In Repose Friday, May 10, 2024 from 2:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. Please keep the Galdorise family in your thoughts and prayers. The Joseph A. Scarano Presidential Circle Memorial Chapel is Honored to assist the Galdorise family with the arrangements.
