Marie was a member of Winthrop’s Sons of Italy Lodge in her early years. She loved music and dancing. Family and friends were her passion and delight and all who knew her loved her dearly. Marie enjoyed hosting dinners and holiday parties. Instructing her grandchildren how to cook Italian food made her very happy and she would stop at nothing to teach them “Nana’s” way.

Above all else, Marie was a dedicated mother. She treasured her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and embraced every moment with them as their Nana. Marie brought so much joy to all and will be missed greatly.
