Marion B. (nee Tedeschi) Guida age 98 of Paterson died peacefully at home on Sunday, December 15, 2013.
She was born and raised in Paterson having graduated from Central High School with the Class of 1933. Out of high school Marion worked for the Barbizon Corporation in Paterson where she made lingerie. She later worked at a savings bank on Market Street before getting married and devoting herself to being a homemaker. Marion grew up at the intersection of Preakness Avenue and Chamberlain Avenue in a home that had an inside toilet and an outhouse. Her father's friends would come over to drink homemade wine and play cards under the grapevine. They all had to use the outhouse as the inside bathroom was only for immediate family.
Marion lived across the street from A. Michael Guida and he would often see her standing on the corner waiting for the bus. If he had time he would pick Marion up and drive her to work. Marion was a true "city girl" and would take the bus in by herself and wander New York City taking in all the sights, sounds, and could window shop for hours on end. Soon she convinced Michael to take her to the city where she would walk and he would talk. Once she realized that Michael liked to go into the city too she was smitten. One of their favorite places to go was Angelo's Restaurant in Little Italy. Marion and Michael married at Saint Mary's Church in Paterson and honeymooned in Bermuda. She never had a hair out of place and dressed impeccably. She was an easy going, caring person who never worried about the small stuff -unless the NY City bus was late, she hated that! While Michael worked Marion would go to New York and have lunch at the Plaza Hotel. Michael moved his parents' home up the block and built the apartments at the intersection of Preakness and Chamberlain Avenue in Paterson. When Michael retired they would venture into the city together and if more local dining was on their minds they could be found at Calico Kitchen on Route 46 for breakfast or Pappy's Diner on Union Boulevard in Totowa. They enjoyed over forty years of marriage before Michaels passing in 1999.
Marion was the loving wife of A. Michael Guida (1999); loving sister of the late Nathal and Louis Tedeschi; devoted aunt of Lois (Tedeschi) Nolan of Wayne, and Louis Tedeschi and his wife Patricia of Wall Township, Kenneth Tedeschi and his wife Gale of Lincoln Park; dear great-aunt of Tad Nolan of Wayne, Dena (Nolan) Klim and her husband John of Wayne, Brett Tedeschi and his wife Karina of Toms River; Blake Tedeschi of Spring Lake Heights, and Brant Tedeschi and his wife Leslie of Bloomfield; much loved great-great-aunt of Olivia Tedeschi.
