Mary A. Leone, nee Keberski, of Gibbstown, NJ, went to join her beloved Tony on April 17, 2020. She was 95.

Mary was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, mother-in-law, Mom Mom, aunt, friend and a mentor to many.

Born in 1925 in Centre Square, NJ, Mary was a modern woman before modern times. She and her Tony owned and operated three luncheonettes and a jewelry store simultaneously in the 40's and 50's. She then primarily concentrated on raising three children, but was always side-by-side with Tony and was a community leader.

She was a one-time PTA president, President of the Gibbstown Senior Citizens Club, Member of the Gloucester County Cultural and Heritage Commission, den mother and hospital volunteer. For decades her home was the site of huge family Thanksgiving Dinners.

She was predeceased by her husband Tony, to whom she was married for almost 68 years. She is survived by daughter Nancy Smuro (Dan) of Long Branch, New Jersey; son Sam Leone (Cheryl) of Dagsboro, DE; daughter Peggy Leone Littleton of Haddonfield New Jersey; grandchildren Jason Smuro (Amy); Matthew Smuro (Sarah); MaryBeth Robbins (Mike); Sarah Moran (Ed); Abigail Durelli (Mike); and nine great-grandchildren.

Always impeccably dressed, she was lovingly cared for over the last 18 months by Bayada and the staff at The Mews in Woodbury, New Jersey.

Mary was, in every way, a proud and fully engaged member of the Greatest Generation.
