She was born in Detroit on May 11, 1931 the daughter of the late Joseph and Concetta (Leanza) Bleggi.

She is preceded in death by her parents and brothers Nick Bleggi, Joseph Minissale and Frank Minissale.
Mary worked various jobs over the years including Cunningham Drugs, Target and Meijers, but truly enjoyed working for Al Dente Pasta in Whitmore Lake. She loved gardening and cherished the time she was able to spend with her nieces, nephews and other family members.
Mary liked to take care of herself. She was into good health, nutrition and even dabbled in massage therapy. You always knew when Mary was home because you could always find either Columbo, Monk or Perry Mason on her TV.
A Funeral Service took place for Mary on May 30 at Lewis E. Wint & Son Funeral Home, Clarkston. Burial will follow at Ottawa Park Cemetery, Clarkston. Family received friends at the funeral home on Wednesday and Thursday.
Memorial donations may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project in Mary’s name.
