Giuseppina Morello was known as "Josephine" as a child. At some point, she permanently became known as "Mary."
When Mary was a child, the family lived just down the street from famous mobster Al Capone, and Mary talked to her family about knowing him as a child. She went to the same elementary school as Al.
Mary's parents split up for unknown reasons in 1909, and Mary's mother became partners with Marcellino Lupoli. The family moved upstate, to Rockland county, New York, in 1910.
