LAKELAND - Marie Iannone passed away on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 in Lakeland, Florida due to a lengthy battle with heart complications.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Marie moved to Lakeland when she was a young girl. She happily resided there for 56 years where she was blessed with many lifelong friends. She graduated from Lakeland High School. A courageous and amazing woman, Marie touched the lives of countless people with her caring ways and generosity. She dedicated years of service to the SPCA, the Boy Scouts of America, and was an active member of the powerboat squadron. Marie and her husband lovingly served as foster parents at various times through the years, to a total of nine children. Full of laughter and fun, Marie loved the beach and fishing. In recent years, she and her husband, John, spent many joyous months of the year in Englewood, Florida, boating, fishing and spending time with family and friends.
Beloved wife for 50 years, she is survived by her husband Patrick John Iannone. Loving mother, she is further survived by her children, Michael, John, Mary and David, as well as six grandchildren who cherish her. Marie will be remembered lovingly by her brother, John Gursky of Lakeland and his family, as well as family and friends throughout Florida and New York.
In lieu of flowers, Marie's family asks that you share a special meal with your family and friends and remember her in your thoughts and prayers.
