Mary immigrated to the United States of America in 1967 with her mother and family from San Giovanni In Fiore, Calabria, Italy, settling in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. She graduated from South High School and began working at Fisher Scientific. It was there that Mary met the love of her life, Jim Oros, with whom she would start and raise her family and spend 51 years of marriage. She continued her education, earning a CNA, and began working at Marian Manor, caring for many Alzheimer's patients over the next 30-plus years.

Mary will always be remembered for her great sense of humor and as a warm and nurturing wife, mother, grandmother, and loyal friend. Friends will be received at JOHN A.
