Marie F. Schell, age 89 of Wayne, died on Wednesday, February 20, 2013.
Marie was born in Newark and grew up in Down Neck. She attended elementary school at St. Benedict’s and, beginning in the fourth grade, Marie and her twin sister Rose were called upon by St. Benedict’s to sing during many Funeral Mass’s there. She was also a wonderful piano player.
Marie later graduated from Newark’s Eastside High School with the class of 1941. She took her first job with Western Electric and then RCA and Firestone before becoming a secretary for the Pequannock Township Board of Education. She retired from there over thirty years ago.
Marie always remained close with her twin sister Rose and she’s lived with Rose’s family for many years. Ever since they were little girls, they rode the trolley together in Newark, roller skated together, and sang in church together. Rose recalls that Marie loved to visit Point Pleasant Beach at the Jersey Shore, certainly her favorite vacation spot. Marie also loved to simply drive around. Sunday drives were among her favorite pastimes and together with Rose they would drive around nice neighborhoods and look at the fancy houses. She enjoyed life and cherished the love she had for her family.
Marie is survived by her sister Rose Satina of Wayne, her niece Marion Ajaj and her husband Ed of Pompton Plains, and her great-nephew Douglas DeStefano of Wayne. She was predeceased by her brother George Schell many years ago, by her brother-in-law Edward Satina, and by her niece Lorraine McLean in 2002.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Marie’s memory are asked to consider the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 or visit www.stjude.org.
