Maria Assunta Celso Obituary
With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Maria Assunta Celso (Flushing, New York), whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on February 5, 2026 at the age of 69. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Maria farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Maria is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was loved and cherished by many people including: her husband Emilio Celso; her daughters, Rosa Rufrano and Giuseppina Celso; her sister Francesca Mendico; and her grandchildren, Angelina, Rafael, Emma and Amelia.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition.
