Marisa Osella (nee Marchini) age 78 of Wayne passed away while receiving the loving care of her family.
She was born in Mogadishu, Somalia (Africa) where she lived until 1967. She then lived in Houston, TX and Milan, Italy before moving to Wayne over fifteen years ago.
Marisa graduated from the Bocconi University in Milan, Italy with a degree in English.
She worked as a secretary for the Sinclair Petroleum Corporation and stopped working to raise her family. She returned to the workforce as the Deputy Consul to Italy for the City of Houston, TX where she worked for several years before retiring in 1973.
Marisa is best characterized as an independent lady who was very caring, highly organized, and having a wry wit. She loved to read and made lists for just about everything.
She was the devoted and beloved wife of the late Joseph Osella (1996); loving mother of James R. Osella (and his wife Maria) of Wayne, and Stephen A. Osella (and his wife Mercedes) of Austin, TX; cherished grandmother of Sophia, Nicholas, Mark, Alexander and Adriana Osella.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations to Hospice of NJ, 400 Broad Acres Drive, 4th Floor, Bloomfield, NJ 07003 would be appreciated.
