Maria Luisa Bruno

On Thursday March 16, 2017, Maria Luisa Bruno, a 45 year resident of Greenburgh/Elmsford, passed away at her Elmsford home. Though faced with a number of health issues, she had an incredibly positive outlook and was a gifted artisan, entrepreneur, wife, mother, and grandmother. Maria Luisa was a talented designer and dress maker whose creations could have graced Vogue magazine. Further, she was an extraordinary and creative cook who loved to serve her family and friends. She was devoted to her family, including her beloved dogs--her Bravos (I, II, III) and her many four-legged grandchildren.

She was 79 years old and born in Italy. She came to the U.S. in 1954 with her parents and sister. She became a U.S. Citizen in the early 1960s. She was married in 1958 to another Italian native, printer Antonino Bruno, who is now deceased. She is survived by: her two sons Erasmo Bruno (tax attorney/CPA) resident of Tarrytown and Tullio Bruno (Pharmacist of HealthSmart Pharmacy) resident of Katonah and his wife and her daughter-in-law, Lisa D. Bruno; her grandchildren, Gregory Bruno and Victoria Bruno (Erasmo's children), and grandson, Julian Bruno (Tullio and Lisa's son). She is also survived by her sister Cesidia Pozzuoli. Our mother was noted as a loving, caring, dedicated and selfless person, who would do whatever was needed to aid her family regardless of any obstacles. There will never be anyone like her again. She has our endless love and affection.
