She resided most of her life on Webb Street in Hamden and for the last year and a half lived at Atria Larson Place also of Hamden. She was the widow of Joseph F.

Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I am saddened to read of Marie’s passing. At five years of age we both walked to State Stree School under the watchful eye of her sister, Arline. We shared many wonderful childhood memories playing in her home on Webb Street, learning to dance, and enjoying the music of Vaughn Monroe. Marie always had a smile and a wonderful sense of humor. She will be missed by many.

  2. Dick and Mary, Sorry to hear of your sister-in-laws passing. Rest assured that she is in a better place. Carl and Joan
