Mary (Maria Rozzi) Lanni

My beautiful Mama, Mary Lanni, born on December 11, 1921 as Maria Rozzi earned her wings into the Promised Land of Heaven on December 1, 2020.

So Blessed are we to have had Mama for nearly 99 years. A woman of fortitude and strength. Always the giver, never expecting to be the receiver.  The most loving and kind woman to walk this earth.
A smile that was contagious and a heart full of joy and laughter. Her love for music and dancing was immeasurable.

Her precious "Mama Kiss" has been passed down to her grandchildren and great grandchild.

Mama's deep devotion of love and admiration for her patron saint, a young peasant girl who was chosen by Our Almighty; The Blessed Mother, ever Virgin. The "Mother" of us all.

Mama's legacy; "To forgive them, for they know not what they do" will remain embedded in my soul.

I am praising God for the gift to call you my Mama, my Matriarch. You will forever live in the deepest part of my soul...
And now, she is yours, Oh, Lord. I commend her unto you.
In our most loving hearts, Your baby girl,
Sharon Lanni Petersheim. "Sharon Jean my little queen."
Your most devoted son, Mark Petersheim.
The precious joy of your life. "Con gioia"

(with joy) Dr. Meredith-Joy Petersheim.

Her attentive husband, Peter Moroni II.
Your Nipotina, "Che bella bambina"

(the beautiful baby) Francesca Lucia.

Your last Grand Blessings the Gemelli, the Twins. Your loving "boy" Michele Giuseppe; Michael Joseph Petersheim. His darling bride, Lindsey Scrogin.
Your last picola, (small) your beautiful look alike, Muriel Paige Petersheim and her most respectful partner for life, First Sergeant Rebecca (Bec) Belanger.

She is preceded in death by her Beloved Husband of 60 years Albert M. Lanni.
