Mary Patricia (Greene) D’Alonzo
April 20, 1938 - January 31, 2025
Mary Patricia (Greene) D’Alonzo, 86, of Ridley Park, PA, peacefully passed away on Friday, January 31, 2025. Born on April 20, 1938, in Upland, PA, she was the beloved daughter of the late Edward and Marie (Crist) Greene, sister to Edward, Patricia and Thomas. A devoted Catholic, Mary held her faith close throughout her life, graduating in 1956 from Notre Dame Catholic Girls’ High School in Moylan, PA.
After high school, Mary worked in various roles, including as a switchboard operator at Lester Piano in Lester, PA, and working alongside her Aunt Claire as a cook at a popular restaurant in Philadelphia. Above all, she was a loving and devoted mother of four, a proud grandmother of nine, and a cherished great-grandmother of three.
Mary’s greatest joy came from nurturing her family and being a loving grandmother. She enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, whether it was spending time at the beach, preparing meals for her loved ones, or sharing stories around the dinner table. She also loved reading mystery novels, listening to her favorite Italian singer, Patrizio, and collecting Coca-Cola memorabilia, which she proudly displayed in her home.
Mary’s beauty, both inside and out, and her ability to bring joy to all who knew her, will never be forgotten. While her presence will be deeply missed, her memory will live on in the hearts of those she loved.
A visitation for family and friends will be held from 10 am until 11 am on Thursday, February 13, 2025, at Spicer-Mullikin Funeral Home, 275 East Main Street, Middletown, DE, where a memorial service will begin at 11 am. Inurnment will follow in All Saints Cemetery, 6001 Kirkwood Highway, Wilmington, DE.

To my Mary…how will life on this earth be the same without you? The truth is, it won’t. But I know the stars in the sky will shine even brighter because you’re in Heaven looking down on us, watching over us with your beautiful heart. I’ll remember all the times in Disney. I’ll never forget your face the first time you saw Cinderella’s Castle. You couldn’t stop smiling like a kid. That made my heart so happy. We had so many fun times and adventures when you would come to Florida. We would laugh so hard, and have so much fun. You know how much my Daddy and Mommy simply adored you. It makes me happy that you’re keeping each other company in Heaven. Dominic simply adored you. He knew how much you loved him and even though he isn’t able to speak, he would help put your shoes on and pick out an outfit for you lol.. including a purse. Wow.. how we laughed. Your love for all of your kids, grandchildren, great grandchildren and friends was so natural for you. I am blessed that the Lord put you in my life 33 years ago. I will miss our pajama parties watching 90 day fiancé lol. I will miss your cinnamon toast. Most of all I will miss hearing your voice telling me that you love me. Well Maria… I love you more. Always. May the Lord Bless and keep you. You’re always in my heart and soul. You are now together with Marisa. I can’t begin to imagine how full your heart is. I love you always❤️Aimee
