Marilyn Angela (Raffetto) Mastranadi
It is with great sadness that the family of Marilyn Mastranadi (of Englewood, FL) announce that she has passed away on September 6, 2018 at the age of 71 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Greenwich Village on November 10, 1946, Marilyn grew up in Middle Village, Queens, where she met and married her high school sweetheart, John F. Mastranadi, spending the last 55 years with him raising a family, traveling and making memories.
Marilyn enjoyed collecting sea glass while walking on her beloved beach in Rocky Point, NY, cooking delicious meals for her family, acing the NY Times crossword puzzles and creating beautiful quilts. Most of all though she loved spending time with her 6 treasured grandchildren, Tyler Clancy, Emily, Kate and Madeline Hammond and Levon and Harrison Mastranadi.
She will be missed by so many, especially her husband John, her sisters, Barbara Raffetto-Donnelly and Susan Raffetto; her children, Michele (& Jeff) Clancy, Amy (& Chris) Hammond, JT (& Robyn) Mastranadi, her nieces and nephew, many cousins and extended family and friends.
Plans for a Celebration of Life are being prepared and will be forthcoming.
Marilyn received compassionate care from the Tidewell Hospice House in Englewood, FL and those who wish to remember her are invited to consider a gift to Tidewell via tidewellhospice.org
