Maria Toscano Milia of Easton, PA passed away on October 26, 2017, surrounded by her loving family. Born May 26, 1931, in Pietraperzia, Sicily, Italy to Pasquale and Catina Toscano. Maria married Liborio Milia of Pietraperzia and immigrated to the US in 1955, settling in Easton. Maria and Liborio raised three children and were married for 42 years until Liborios passing in 1996.

Maria worked for several years as a seamstress at Strongwear Apparel. Later, due to ongoing health concerns, she placed her focus on her wellness and raising her family. She was admired for her exceptional cooking of mouthwatering, full course Italian meals that always left everyone astounded and well fed. She also delightfully enjoyed baking and preparing her famous cannolis and Italian cookies to share with family and friends. She loved sewing and crocheting beautiful clothing and other items as well. These interests, along with her bright smile and sense of style and fashion, lit up entire rooms.

As well as belonging to St. Anthony of Padua Church in Easton, Maria was a long time member of the Churchs Mother Cabrini Society.
