Marcia Steinberg

Marcia Anne Steinberg (nee Kasselman), age 81, of Roseland NJ, passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 27, 2020.

Born in Miami, FL on October 22, 1938, Marcia attended to North Miami High School and went onto University of Miami, where she studied advertising and interior design.  Marcia moved to New Jersey in December of 1963, getting a quick education about winters in the north.  She eventually settled in the Pines Lake section of Wayne where she raised three daughters.

Throughout her life, Marcia enjoyed a variety of jobs and activities highlighting her entrepreneurial and adventurous spirit.   At one point, she and a friend used their love of painting and wallpapering to create an interior design business called “The Paper Dollies”.   Other jobs included real estate and fashion retailing.  She especially enjoyed working with the public.   For many years, Marcia was a devoted volunteer at the Daughters of Israel nursing home in West Orange.  She got much joy out of offering comfort and care to the residents.

Marcia always had a tremendous love of old movies, music, dance, art and culture. She sang and danced her way through life.   In 1999, she married William (Bill) Steinberg, who died in 2005.  Both Marcia and Bill were extremely active in the New Jersey Jazz Society where Bill served as President and she as a board member until her death.  Together, they had an extensive music collection.  But most of all, Marcia adored being a “granny” to her 6 grandchildren.

Marcia is survived by her children: Laurie (Flinn) Micoletti and her husband Greg of South Windsor, CT; Karen (Flinn) Calvert and her husband Chris of Haworth, NJ and Linda (Flinn) Bocco of Robbinsville, NJ, as well as the father of her children, Frank Flinn.  She will be deeply missed by her grandchildren Nicole, Ryan, Julia, Siena, Aidan and Brody.

Marcia is now reunited in Heaven with her beloved husband, Bill, her parents, Benjamin and Florence Kasselman, her brother David and many treasured friends.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the New Jersey Jazz Society c/o Dave Dilzell P.O. Box 223 Garwood, NJ 07027  or www.njjs.org.
