Mary Pellegrino, 68, 0f New Haven passed away at home on July 23, 2022. She was born January 3, 1954 in New Haven to Nicholas and Mary (Costa) Constantinople.

Mary was a kind free spirit full of love and was always giving to others. She adored her family and loved being a Nonni to her grandchildren and great-grandson "little D" as she called him. She and her husband loved spending time with family and having them over their house for holidays, especially summers where she cooked on the grill and enjoyed her pool. Mary was a lover of Looney Tunes cartoons and a movie buff. She loved all creatures, great and small. Mary never let a day go by without telling her daughter and grandchildren she loved them. She will be remembered as she lived her life, loving, kind and down to earth.
