Marie A. Costa age 79 of Clifton died peacefully on Saturday, June 9, 2012.
She was born and raised in Carlstadt, lived in East Rutherford, Clifton for fifty-one years, before moving to Wayne four years ago.
Marie was the self-designated official day care for all her grandchildren and was affectionately known as “Bingo Grandma” and “Mean Grandma”. She loved trips to Atlantic City with her husband Bob where they would play the slots for hours. She was also a fantastic cook. Her special touch on lasagna, meatballs, sausage, apple pie and cream cheese cookies will be greatly missed. We have included her Cream Cheese Cookie recipe below to help keep her memory alive.
Marie’s first date with Robert was a casual drive in his car. He proposed to her at a cousins wedding and they married on January 5, 1957 at the Robin Hood Inn in Clifton. They honeymooned in Miami Florida and have enjoyed 55 years of devoted marriage.
She was the loving wife of Robert Costa; devoted mother of Bob Costa and his wife Maryann of Chatham, Kim Frederick and her husband Jerry of Wayne, and Mike Costa and his wife Cathy of Vernon; cherished grandmother of Christina, Teresa(2011), Bobby, Craig, Amanda, Jerry, Toni, Joseph, Tyler, and Casey; dear great-grandmother of Jake; loved sister of Bernice Cheney and her husband Mike of Little Egg Harbor, and the late Joseph Pandorf.
