MANGION – MARIA (also known as Mary), née Bugeja, from Mqabba died peacefully on Friday, May 22, after receiving the Last Rites, at Silversprings Care Home, Essex. A very sad moment when such a bubbly, laughing and loving 93-year-old left us – but joyous in the certainty of meeting the Risen Christ and to be reunited with her parents, Anthony and Loreta Bugeja, and with her late brothers, Salvu, Guzeppi and Leli, whom she did so love throughout her life. On earth, her all-consuming passion was her family, but all this was underpinned by her very deep faith and prayer life. She had a special devotion to Our Lady and to San Frangisk whose statue she loved to visit in the care home grounds. Her loving, uplifting and supportive pre-sence will be so deeply missed by her children Edwin and Antoinette, and by her one grandchild Clare and husband Christopher, whom Nanna felt so privileged to have met and welcomed into the family. Thanks for the love and offer of Masses from Bugeja and Mangion relatives. The funeral will be livestreamed (early June). May she rest in peace and rise in glory! Thank you for everything, our beloved Mum/Nanna.
