Marina Cucchi Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 5, 2009.
PRINCETON, NJ — Marina Veronica Cucchi, 23 months, died unexpectedly on Friday, May 1, 2009, at her home in Princeton.

Born in Providence, Rhode Island on May 31, 2007, to Anthony and Julie Muller Cucchi, Marina's constant smile and happiness brought daily joy to her family and everyone around her.

Marina lived the first year of her life in Warren, Rhode Island with her parents and two loving older brothers, Bruno and Nico. In the summer of 2008, she and her family said good-bye to close friends in New England and moved to Princeton, where grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and family friends enriched Marina's life and her warmth blessed them in return.

She is survived by her parents; brothers; grandparents, Florence Cucchi of Princeton, Paolo and Julie Cucchi of Madison, Gerald and Veronica Muller of Princeton; aunts and uncles, Marco and June Cucchi, Michael and KC Cucchi, Suzanne Muller, and Amanda Muller; also survived by many cousins.

The Funeral Service will be held 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, May 6, 2009, at Trinity Church, 33 Mercer St., Princeton. Calling hours will be held from 1:00 to 3:00 and 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., Tuesday at The Mather-Hodge Funeral Home, 40 Vandeventer Ave., Princeton.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial gifts be made to the school or charity of your choice.

dear Cucchi family. We send such deep and heartfelt sympathies to all of you. Julie we only just got to know you as Phoebe entered Gordon this past year, but your warmth was so real and such a part of our decision to be there -- we think of you often. We hope somehow we can send to you -- through these meager words --warmth in kind, much strength, and solace. We are thinking of you and yours and send much love. Lucy, Thomas, Phoebe and Violet.
