Maria E. Molica

MARIA E. MOLICA (nee Maneri) age 81, was called home on July 5, 2025. She was a quiet woman in life, and she went quietly back to Him in death. Maria lived most of her life in Mayfield Heights and graduated from Ursuline Academy in 1962. Upon graduation from high school, she worked as a secretary for an insurance company. She helped at her children's school, worked on the Marine's Newsletter with her husband, and volunteered her time to numerous charities including the American Cancer Society. Maria enjoyed the simplicities of life, like making sauce with Tony, reading the newspaper and completing the word searches. Content with the patterns of her life, Maria loved her family and spending time with them, whether they were simply sitting and enjoying each other's company, or celebrating Easter. Christmas Eve, or 4th of July. May you rest in eternal peace Maria, freed from your constant worry of being judged for having a seizure. Please watch over all of us, especially Tony, as we adjust to you not being here on earth with us and we move through our lives carrying your memory with us!

Beloved wife of Anthony for 56 years; loving mother of Angela Rosenberg (husband Marc), Theresa Ringenbach (husband Karl); devoted grandmother of Caitlyn, Lauren, Brett, Samantha, Ali, and Sarah; cherished daughter of the late Angelo and Sue (nee Friguglietti) Maneri; dearest sister of Susan DeFranco (husband William); dear aunt and great-aunt of many.
