Mary A. Bevoni, 93, daughter of the late Carmela and Raffaele Mastromatteo, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 14th, in Rio Rancho, NM, where she had recently relocated. A gifted soprano, Mary was a former member of the Westchester Little Opera Company, the Westchester Philharmonic Choral Society, a chapter of the Sweet Adelines and a lifetime member of the Mount Carmel Church choir. Mary often sang solo for weddings, funerals and public holiday celebrations. For several years she worked side by side with her late husband, Mario, at Bevoni's Silver Lake Market. They were devoted to each other for 68 years. Beside her love of music, Mary enjoyed all aspects of life whether simple or sophisticated. She would "gallivant" at the drop of a hat, yet she looked forward to planned vacations with her family and friends. Her home was open to everyone, and she often hosted drop-in as well as invited guests. Mary had a keen sense of humor and a loving acceptance of everyone who came into her life. She particularly enjoyed caring for her grandchildren and grandnieces. She will be remembered for her generosity of heart and her valiant spirit. She is survived by her son, Thomas, and his wife, Mary, of Corrales, NM; her daughter, Rosemarie, of Croton-on-Hudson, NY; her grandchildren, Leisha and Michael, of Albuquerque, NM; nieces, Rita, Dolores, Maria, Miriam, Lorraine, Barbara and Anita; nephews, James and Guido and all their children. Funeral services will be held Monday, May 19, 2008, viewing at 10:00 a.m. - services at 11:00 a.m. at Daniels Funeral Home, 4310 Sara Rd SE, Rio Rancho, NM 87124,(505)892-9920
