Maria Anna Minopoli

Notes:

Birth:
Due to WWII bombings in Italy in her youth, original birth records were destroyed. The only documentation remaining only showed the year of 1928. When Mary immigrated to the United States in April of 1946 - her official date of birth became Jan 24, 1928. This is the date found on all official U.S. documentation.
However, many years later Mary also started observing a birthday of Sep 22, 1928. This is the date that was generally observed and celebrated with family.

Buried:
With great sorrow the family of Mary Arnold announces the final journey she has made on Monday, January 21, 2019 to her heavenly home at the age of 90 years old. She will join her one and only true love Delmer with her loving parents, brothers and sisters at his side.

Mary made her first journey to America in 1946 from Italy as an Italian War Bride. Just a young bride of six months and with child she journeyed by herself on an American Red Cross ship to this new land full of hope and wonderment of what it would behold. With her husband still in Italy, he would join her several weeks later in Tennessee. Due to the health of Delmer, they came to Tucson, Arizona. This became Mary's home for the next 72 years. In that time Mary created her own dynasty of over 65 family members and accomplished many great things in her life. The most treasured gift was doing and giving to her family.
