MaryBeth Papetti

New Milford - MaryBeth Papetti, 65, passed away on Tuesday, March 24, 2020. Born October 29, 1954 in New York, N.Y., MaryBeth spent her early life in N.Y. before moving with her family to New Milford, N.J. She resided in Dumont, N.J. with her husband Cesare Papetti for the last 34 years.

MaryBeth was the loving wife to Cesare Papetti for 45 years and devoted mother to her son Scott and his loving wife Courtney. She is survived by her sister Eileen Doherty (husband Phillip), brothers Brian (wife Patricia), and Richard (wife Eileen), sister Barbara, sister-in-laws Helen Clarke and Susan Garland, brother-in-law Michael Papetti, and many nieces and nephews.

She is predeceased by her parents Anne and Ralph Baker of New Milford, NJ and her beloved dog Cody.

MaryBeth devoted her life to her family and her work in the healthcare field. After working as an LPN at Hackensack Hospital at a young age while also starting a family, MaryBeth went back to school to become a Registered Nurse. After receiving her degree, MaryBeth became the Director of Nursing at multiple long-term care facilities throughout Northern North Jersey. MaryBeth was known for going above and beyond in her career, not only because of her dedication to her patients, but also for being an inspirational role model to her colleagues as well.

MaryBeth's infectious smile and laugh were contagious and memorable. Some of her passions in life besides her family included Saturday shopping excursions with Helen, sitting out on the deck by the fire pit with a glass of wine with Cesare and Scott and nights out to dinner with close family and friends. She also loved her Florida vacations to the Keys and soaking in sunsets all along the East Coast. She loved gardening and flowers, visiting wineries, watching Hallmark Christmas movies and making her home cozy for all who entered. She especially found joy in planning family gatherings, in particular her annual family Christmas Eve party and recently in helping plan Scott's wedding to Courtney last June.

A celebration of MaryBeth's life will take place at a future date. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made in MaryBeth's honor to The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.

My sincerest condolences go out to the Papetti and Baker families. Marybeth was a beautiful person inside and out. As teenagers, we shared many laughs and fun times together. Although we lost touch over the years, she will always hold a special place in my heart.

There are no words that I can express the loss of this wonderful, humane & forgiving person that I have known for almost all my life.
I know that you have God's arms around you and you will be with Him for eternity.
You were (are) a good friend. You will be missed

There are no words to truly express how incredibly special MaryBeth was and how saddened all of us are who knew her for so many years! She was the brightest light and always so much fun! Her laugh was contagious. My condolences go out to her husband and son and his new wife of 2 years and as soon as I go through all my photo prints, I will post them, where every single one has that huge smile on Marybeth's face. One thing is certain....she was truly loved by so many and will be sorely missed!!

With a heavy heart I learned of the passing of
MaryBeth. Fond memories of the times my daughters & I spent with MaryBeth & Cheryl sitting
around my kitchen table laughing & sharing a bottle of Ruinite. She will always be in our prayers.
May Our Lord hold you in His arms.

We had the best of times together in HS. We experienced many firsts thru these years. 1st crush, 1st love, endless talks, overnights, & therapy sessions. We laughed so much & cried as well. She was a very, very special & unforgettable friend. I remember Christmas shopping in Hackensack, & walking arm in arm singing Christmas classics.In later years, Girls weekends were the best. Thanks to Debbie Dengle Bortner for hosting!) We loved going out, dancing, & watching the sappy FaLaLaLaLifetime Christmas movies at the end of the night. Her smile & laugh contagious & will always be remembered.

When I heard about MaryBeths illness, I was beside myself. We went to school together and although we may not have been close friends, we always had smiles or hellos up and down the halls. When I heard of her passing, I was devastated. May God Bless you and keep you MaryBeth!
