Born in Detroit, Michigan, she emigrated at the age of 10 with her parents John and Sara Teuma along with her four siblings to their homeland of Malta. Mary met her only love, Gaetano Zammit and married in Malta in April 1989. In 1953 Mary and her husband returned to The United States where she raised her seven children. Mary was the matriarch of the family with a passion for cooking and bringing her family together with love and laughter. Her traditions will carry on with each family member, particularly on holidays or any Sunday dinner. Mary's true enjoyment came from spending time with her children and grandchildren. She would love to sing Maltese nursery rhymes to the babies and make them laugh. Her laughter was infectious and will be deeply missed by all. She was the loving wife of over 50 years of the late Gaetano Zammit (1989).
