Mary Ann Bosco, formerly of Kingston, NY, died on December 25, 2024 at the Springmoor Life Care Retirement Community in Raleigh, NC. Mary was born on August 5, 1929 to the late Vincenzo "James" Bitonte and his wife, Maria "Marietta" Gagliardi Bitonte in Glasco, NY. Mary and her husband, Ignazio A. Bosco, were longtime residents of Roosevelt Avenue in Kingston before moving to Raleigh in 2019.

While living in Kingston, Mary was employed from 1971 until 1995 by Kingston Schools Consolidated, first as a library assistant, and then as a teacher's secretary. Mary was a parishioner and Eucharistic Minister of St. Joseph Church in Kingston. She was a former member and officer of the Benedictine Auxiliary. Mary was also a longtime supporter of the Sisters of St. Ursula, Linwood Spiritual Center, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. She was a member of the St. Mary's-St. Peter's Altar Rosary Society and attended Mass at St. Mary Church in her later year.

In addition to her parents, Mary was predeceased by her husband of 69 years, Ignazio A. Bosco, and her brother and sister-in-law, Frank and Helen Bitonte of Kendall, Florida.

She is survived by her loving brother, Vincent Bitonte (Marilyn) of Port Ewen, NY, and her two daughters, Diane Bosco Morrison and her husband Timothy, of Bluffton, SC, and Lillian Bosco Mallia and her husband, Louis, of Raleigh, NC. She also leaves behind five grandchildren, Daniel Morrison (Bianca), Andrew Morrison (Katie), Dr. Gregory Morrison, Christine Mallia, and Nicole Mallia, and three great-grandchildren, Vincenzo Morrison, Adelina Morrison, and Caleb Morrison, as well as several nieces and nephews.
