Marion Francis Marchetti, age 101 of Totowa, died peacefully on Sunday May 16, 2010 just one day after her birthday. Her family was with her at her bedside when she passed.
Marion grew up in Paterson and had lived in Totowa for over eighty years. She moved to Totowa with her father in the 1920’s, shortly after losing her mother. She recalled that the land on Rosengren Avenue was all wooded when her husband Hank, purchased the lot, and he built the house that she continued to live in until her passing.
While living in Totowa, Marion was very active at St. James of the Marches Roman Catholic Church, on Totowa Avenue. She was a member of the NANOR Club at St. James, which used to produce plays at the church. In the early 1940’s, Marion had the lead role in “The Arrival of Kitty” and during the rehearsals she met Henry Marchetti, whom everyone called "Hank". The two of them fell in love and were married in 1948. One of their favorite things to do together was dancing; they were fast dancers and excellent at the Tango and the Peabody. They enjoyed fifty five years of marriage together before Hank passed in 2003.
Marion enjoyed playing Bingo anywhere she could; St. James, St. Brendan’s, St. Thomas, and the PAL, just to name a few. She was also very talented at home decorating and creating her own elaborate window treatments.
She is survived by her daughter; Alice Marie De Cicco and her husband Thomas of Butler, her grandson Thomas and his wife Myriah of Mays Landing, NJ, and three great-grandchildren; Julia Marie, TJ, and Justin, all of Mays Landing, NJ.
