 Marie was born in Brooklyn, New York. She moved to Hicksville, New York with her late husband, Joseph and there they raised their 10 children.  They moved to Riverhead, New York once Joseph retired. She was a faithful housewife and a hard-working mother.  She loved unconditionally. She loved Christmas especially when Santa visited our home.  She loved gardening, going to the casino, watching Cowboy & Indian movies as well as Asian action films.  She made huge Italian meals while my dad was barbequing chicken, she loved helping others. In her later years and until she could physical no longer do it she loved hustling side jobs even mowing her neighbors lawns just to get a few bucks.  Sneaky money is what she would call it.  Marie was one of a kind and will be missed by many.
