Marie A. Romano (nee Gentile), age 93 of Boynton Beach, Florida and formerly of Wayne, died on Thursday, January 10, 2013.
Marie grew up in Orange, NJ where she met her husband Anthony while they were in high school together. They married in October of 1942 and had lived in Maine while Anthony served during World War II. The two of them loved to golf and they eventually moved to Wayne in the 1950’s, drawn there by, of all things, the golf course at North Jersey Country Club. She was a member there for more than forty years and in the 1970’s, they bought a vacation home in Florida at the Delray Dunes Country Club. That home was positioned right on the golf course, between the 5th and 6th holes – it was perfect!
Besides golfing, the two of them travelled all over the world, particularly Europe. Marie enjoyed collecting artwork and oil paintings from the various countries they visited and she was proud of her collection. She and Anthony also had a pet Samoyed named Chang. Chang was like a child to them, truly a member of the family, and they loved him dearly.
Marie is survived by several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Anthony in 1989, her three sisters; Francis DeRosa, Phyllis Rivera, Margaret Frazzanio, and her brother Charles Gentile.
Memorial donations, if friends so wish, would be greatly appreciated. Please consider the Hospice of Palm Beach County Foundation, 5300 East Avenue, West Palm Beach, FL, 33407.
