Carole A. Schwartz

(nee Mazza) On February 23, 2025 of Washington Twp. Age 66. Beloved wife of Michael. Devoted mother of Alicia Tanner (Ryan), Ayden Schwartz (Jessie), Christian Buonpastore (Laura), Joseph Schwartz (Allie), and the late Justin Buonpastore. Loving grandmother of Ryan, Cody, Ava, and Nora. Dear sister of the late Michele Buonpastore. Cherished daughter of the late Joseph and Edith Mazza. Loved by nieces, nephews and many close friends.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of a truly extraordinary woman whose vibrant spirit and boundless love touched countless lives. Carole Mazza Schwartz of Washington Township, though we never got the South Philly out of her, passed away peacefully on February 23, 2025 surrounded by family.

As a wife, mother, aunt, grandmother and dear friend, she embodied the very essence of unconditional love, leaving an unforgettable mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Her personality was truly larger than life. She filled every room she entered with warmth and laughter, her infectious enthusiasm making even ordinary moments feel special. She possessed that rare gift of making everyone feel seen, heard, and valued—whether you were family, friend, or someone she had just met.

As a wife she was a partner who helped us through both good and tough times. She was a crutch when needed and a playmate and companion on our many adventures. Through over 4 decades together, she and Michael created a home filled with love. Theirs was a love story for the ages, one that inspired all who witnessed it. She sure was Mike’s other half.

As a mom and aunt, she was fiercely devoted, balancing guidance with tenderness. She celebrated our successes with genuine pride and stood as an unwavering source of support during life’s challenges. She raised us to feel both loved and empowered. She listened deeply and was there for all of us whenever we needed her.

As a mommom, she was nothing short of magical. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and the feeling was mutual. She created a world of wonder and adventure for them, turning everyday moments into treasured memories. Her homemade cookies, game nights, and special traditions will forever remain in their hearts.

Her generosity knew no bounds. She possessed the biggest heart imaginable—always the first to offer help, a listening ear, or a shoulder to lean on. She gave without expectation of return, finding her greatest joy in the happiness of others.

Though her physical presence is no longer with us, her spirit lives on in the values she instilled, the traditions she created, and the love she shared so abundantly. The world feels dimmer without her radiant presence, but heaven has gained the brightest of stars.

She will be profoundly missed but eternally remembered as the extraordinary woman she was—a wife, mom, aunt, mommom, and friend whose love and legacy will continue to inspire us all.

Oh, how we laughed!

Family and friends are welcome to attend her viewing Sunday, March 2^nd 12:00 – 2:00 PM at the Egizi Funeral Home, 119 Ganttown Rd., Washington Twp. Funeral service 2:00 PM.
