I knew Ms. Marzio, as Miss Parker, my seventh grade English teacher in Prince George's County Maryland. That was in 1970. I just today heard of her passing from another one of my teachers in the same school, who I have remained fast friends with over the years. I am now 65, and I remember her fondly and very well. She was a terrific teacher! She didn't play games, and she was strict, and we learned. I have peaked into her life from time to time, but never established another relationship....

Mrs Marzio was a very quiet elegant reserved lady that I had the privilege of working around for many years at the museum. I was fortunate enough to get to see her unguarded side, her funny witty and down to earth side she didn´t share with many others. I will always remember that Francis, and her little giggly laugh and that beautiful smile. I know Peter was waiting to welcome you "home" dear!
