Maria Teresa DiMarco, age 64, of Pompton Lakes, passed away on Saturday, March 24, 2018.
Shortly before Maria Teresa was born, her parents, Andrea and Incoronata (nee Petruzziello) Buldo and older brother José, emigrated from Italy to Argentina. It was there that Maria Teresa grew up and lived until 1978, at the age of twenty-four, when she emigrated with her parents and sister to the United States.
After coming to the U.S., Maria Teresa met a handsome young man named Salvatore Antonio “Tony” DiMarco. His parents and family were originally from the same town in Italy that Maria Teresa’s family was from – Pescopagano. Maria Teresa and “Tony” as he was affectionately called, fell in love and married on Saturday, June 8, 1985 at Our Lady of Grace Church in Fairview, NJ. They moved to Riverdale to start a family and were soon blessed with three beautiful daughters – Ana in 1987, Andrea in 1988, and Daniella in 1989. Maria Teresa happily and enthusiastically settled into raising her daughters and providing a loving nurturing home. Sadly, very soon after, Tony passed away unexpectedly in 1990. With the help of her loving immediate family, Maria Teresa did her heartfelt best to raise her girls on her own and when Daniella, her youngest, started kindergarten, Maria Teresa began working as a sales associate in the A&P Grocery Store in Pompton Plains. She worked there until retiring in 2014.
Maria Teresa found great enjoyment cooking in her kitchen and her entire family and friends were the blessed recipients of many of her delicious recipes, including her “famous” empanadas, chicken roll-ups, chicken cutlets, and stromboli. She could even make broccoli taste so delicious that her daughter’s friends would want to come over for some. She would watch Jeopardy and Wheel a Fortune nightly and enjoy dinner with her daughters followed by playing cards, especially the game, Ching Chong. When she wasn’t cooking, Maria Teresa spent lots of time conversing with friends and family on the telephone. Energized by being in the company of others, she was a member of the Riverdale Women’s Club, both for the social aspect and for the volunteer efforts that were conducted.
Maria Teresa’s daughters were her life, pride, and joy. Her daughters were so incredibly dear to her. When they were young, she strove to provide them with the greatest love and sense of security, and as they grew up, she did her best to give great advice in guiding and preparing them for life as adults. Maria Teresa will be missed for her energy, spirit, and awesome sense of humor – she loved to make others laugh. She will forever be remembered for her loving devotion to the friends and family who were blessed to know her.
Maria Teresa was the beloved wife of Salvatore Antonio “Tony” DiMarco who passed away unexpectedly in 1990. She was the loving and very proud mother of three adored daughters: Ana DiMarco of Bloomingdale, and Andrea and Daniella DiMarco, both of Pompton Lakes; cherished sister of José Buldo and wife Paula of Argentina, and Maria Rosa Squillace and husband Joe of Old Tappan; and dear aunt of numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her father Andrea in 1997 and her mother Incoronata in 2006.
