Mary C. Augelli (née Ambrosia)

Mary C. Augelli (née Ambrosia)  Age 100, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 9, 2026. A woman of extraordinary beauty, strength, faith and grace, she lived a full century as a force of nature — unyielding, loving, and unforgettable. Devoted daughter of the late Joseph and Josephine (née Malpede) Ambrosia. Sister to the late Vincent (Phyllis) Ambrosia and the late William (Mary) Ambrosia. Beloved wife of the late Angelo Augelli. Precious mother of 5 children, Diane Schunke, MaryAnn Ford, Darlene Augelli-Danielson, Joseph Augelli, and the late John (Karen) Augelli.

Grandmother to Brad (Rielly) Lawry, John and Nina Augelli; Admiring Great Grandmother to Palmer and Cambell Lawry, and Avianna Augelli. Bright light to many nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends.

Mary loved: spending time with her family, beautifully entertaining holidays, baking, music, fashion, flowers (especially roses), delicious foods…”mmm”, playing cards, cleaning, traveling, praying the rosary, serving others and her church, laughing her unmistakable laugh, and creating beauty wherever she went. She was a heart full of wonder and love and is deeply loved and forever in our hearts. “Many Women do noble things, but you have surpassed them all.” Charm is deceptive, and beauty fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. Proverbs 31:29-31

Visitation for Mary will take place on Thursday, November 19th at Sacred Heart Church, 819 N. 16th Ave., Melrose Park, IL 60160. 10:00 am gathering and 11:00 am funeral Mass, followed by procession to Queen of Heaven Chapel for committal service.
