Theresa Mariconda (nee Manzo), age 85 of Port St. Lucie, Florida, died on Friday, September 9, 2016. She was born and raised in Paterson, NJ, before retiring to Florida in 1978.
Terry grew up on Cross Street and attended Paterson Public Schools #2 and #13 before working at the DuMont Television Company. She began dating Michael Mariconda, a family friend, when he returned home from serving in World War II. They married on October 29, 1950 at St. Joseph Church and honeymooned in Washington, DC.
Terry and Michael eventually settled into their home on Rossiter Avenue (Paterson) where they raised their family. Terry loved to entertain at her home, which was built for celebrations of any kind. The Maricondas' large yard, complete with a big swimming pool, was always overflowing with family, friends, great food, laughter, and good memories. Terry also loved hosting the holidays, most especially putting on a feast for Christmas Eve.
Terry and Michael were able to retire early and moved to Florida in 1978. They lived in Ft. Lauderdale for 20 years before heading north to the King’s Isle in Port St. Lucie, where they lived for nearly 18 more years. The Maricondas enjoyed a very active lifestyle in their retirement; Terry especially never sat still and was always “on the go.” She loved Bingo, the lottery and all things “arts and crafts.” In recent years she became a huge Miami Marlins fan, which came as a surprise to all who knew her because she'd never showed any interest in sports of any kind before.
Terry always set the standard for how to live a fun-filled life, with lots of love for her family and friends.
Terry is survived by her husband Michael of Port St. Lucie, three children; Paul Mariconda and his wife Carol of Brick, NJ, Mary Ann Mariconda of Port St. Lucie, Michael Mariconda and his wife Linda of Ft. Lauderdale, two grandchildren; Dayna Lavin and her husband Charles of Toms River, India Mariconda and her husband Tim Dannwolf of Ocean Township, four great-grandchildren; Luca and Jovie Dannwolf of Ocean Township, and Theodore “Teddy” and Juniper Lavin of Toms River, one sister; Carmen Salotti and her husband Louis of Port St. Lucie, and two beloved sisters-in-law; Lisa Manzo of Montville, NJ and Nina Hundt and her husband George of Wayne. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Albert and Marion Manzo; and her brothers Albert “Tiny” Manzo and Frank Manzo.
Terry was a devoted volunteer and ambassador for the Deborah Hospital Foundation throughout her lifetime and she was passionate about their mission and their philosophy that “there can be no price on life.” In lieu of flowers, friends are asked to please donate to the Deborah Hospital.
