Mrs. Mary Stella Spiteri was born on July 2, 1929 on the island of Malta to parents Victoria and Salvador Falzon and entered into eternal rest on March 7, 2016 at her home in Monterey Park, California. She was 86 years old. She met and married the love of her life, Vincent Spiteri on the island of Malta. They have been married for 65 years this April, totaling 70 years of being together.
Mary is survived by her loving husband Vincent Spiteri of Monterey Park, she was the loving mother to her son Edward Spiteri of Monterey Park, son Emanuel (Lupe) Spiteri of San Gabriel, daughter Victoria (Robert) Ruiz of Monterey Park and son Vince (Irene) Spiteri of Diamond Bar.

She loved and served the Lord at Our Lady of Miraculous Medal for over 50 years. She spent her last days at peace in her home, surrounded by all her loved ones, until the Lord called her home. She will be dearly missed, but as a family of faith we know where she is at, whom she is with, and will one day rejoice when we see her again. Until then we will honor her all the days of our life. We as a family are declaring this woman we love dearly, as Proverbs 31 women.
Proverbs 31:29-31
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
