Marie Castello Obituary
Sally Castello tells the Asbury Park Press that her great-grandmother, Marie Castello, died Friday. The psychic reader and adviser began telling fortunes on the Asbury Park Boardwalk in New Jersey in the 1930s.
Madam Marie became famous in 1973 when Springsteen paid homage to her in the song "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)."
His lyric, "Did you hear, the cops finally busted Madam Marie for tellin' fortunes better than they do," cemented her fame.

In the 40's I used to go to Monte Carlo pool and then walk over to Mdme Marie and chide her that I thought she was a phony. She would threaten to call the cops. NOW, I miss her dearly. The boardwalk will never be the same. RIP sweet and dear lady!

Bruce told me about you in a lovely song. Even if you now are in heaven together with the other Angels, you still lives among us, because of Bruce.

do not mourn the passing of your loved one, instead, celebrate the life and love that was Madam Marie. Surely Heaven is a little richer for her presence.
May God Bless her family in this time of sadness.
