Marie began her journey of life on October 29, 1947. She entered the kingdom of heaven on November 30, 2020 surrounded by her family.
Marie was blessed with many talents. She had a passion for crafting, scrapbooking, sewing, and volunteering. Without a doubt, she was Elvis’s #1 fan. Marie never forgot anyone’s birthday and loved spending time with her family. The blessing she cherished most in life was being a Nana.

Daughter of the late Louis and Serina Pendino. Sister of Anthony (Ruth), Domenica and the late Philip. Beloved Aunt, cousin, and friend to many.

So sorry to hear the news of Marie’s passing. She was definitely a force to be dealt with concerning her family. Marie was such a part of Holy Innocents School and Parish. We raised our children together and served as room mothers, scout leaders and friends. I envied her beautiful handiworks and her Italian cooking. She will be missed by many parents and children who knew her as the parish and school office secretary. Sending prayers and blessings to her large, loving family.
Jill, Brenda, Rebecca, Buddy, and family…please know that I am thinking of you all at this sad time. Your mom was so sweet…I remember great times were had at your house back in the day:). Sending hugs to all of you.
We met Marie when she drove over our newly planted bush. We lived next door to her daughter, Brenda. I will never forget that. I smile about it to this day. She loved her family very much. Be careful if you have to drive through those pearly gates. You were one of a kind and I will miss you.
I am thinking about your whole family ! I’m so sorry for the passing of your Momma!
Praying for your family today !
Marie, thanks for being one of my 28 bridesmaids in 2008! I loved that you and Connie were so close. Our prayers are with the wonderful family that you left behind!
To all of Marie’s family…I know how hard it is to lose a loved one, a parent during the holidays. I pray for strength and comfort for all of you during this most difficult time. I’m sorry I won’t be able to make it there tonight but you are all in my thoughts especially throughout the upcoming days and weeks. God bless you all.
I will miss you ChiChi. I remember all the times we were on the phone laughing so hard we made snorting sounds. That is what I will miss the most I think. I am sure you will have all new clubs with Phil and get to be Dad’s favorite. You deserve it! See you in 40 or 50 years. Love you ReRe Pocket.
Condolences to the family! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
