Mariann F. Buckey “Buttons” (nee Benedetto) age 72 of Wanaque, NJ on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 after a courageous battle with cancer. Her passing was quiet and peaceful while receiving the loving care of her husband, children and grandchildren.
She was born in Alliance, Ohio and had lived in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, then Wayne, NJ for thirty-eight years before moving to Wanaque, NJ two years ago.
Mariann spent her formative years in Alliance, Ohio where she graduated from Saint Joseph’s grammar school in Alliance and later Alliance High School graduating with the Class of 1954. She was gifted with a beautiful appearance and countenance. While living in Alliance, Ohio which is famous as the “Carnation City” she entered the Miss Carnation Beauty Pageant and was honored with a first runner up designation.
Her first job was as a Secretary at Ohio Power Company in Canton where she worked for four years.
She was a very devout Christian who proclaimed her unerring faith in Jesus Christ as her saviour.
Mariann met Daniel Buckey in June at the Clearwater=2 0Park, a recreational water park in Uniontown, Ohio and they soon became a couple marrying the following January. They had fifty-two and one half years of “unconditional and devoted love” together.
She leaves her family and many good friends with cherished memories of a very loving wife, mother, grandmother and a good friend. Mariann had an extraverted personality and when she made a friend she kept that relationship for life.
Mariann had a very brave twenty-nine year battle with cancer that went away with treatment and came back again. Her remission was for nineteen years and she went through much treatment but with a very positive attitude about the future. Then ten years ago it came back. Her disease was unrelenting and merciless and filled many days with extraordinary challenges and perhaps terror at what the future would hold. You can be assured that her God gave her the relief that she needed because she has now passed to a new day with no pain or fear. We can be assured that she is free at last from her terrible ordeal. Even with the adversity she faced, she gathered her strength and determined to live life to the fullest. Her pending predicted demise turned into years and she survived ten more quality years.
Surviving are her loving husband Danie l Buckey, two daughters Denise Lynn Gaeta of Wayne and Dana Lynn Baum of Lincoln Park; one son Daniel J. Buckey of Lincoln Park; seven grandchildren Jeffrey and Alex Gaeta, Brooke Spadaro, Megan and Morgan Mariani, Jullian and Daniel J. Buckey.
She was predeceased by her cherished son Jeffrey Allan Buckey who passed away at the age of six months breaking her heart. In addition her son in law Mitchelle Baum died of cancer in October 2006 and her brother Richard Benedetto died in 1992.
