Marian Wianecki Obituary
Raleigh, NC - Marian Rippo Wianecki, also known as "Mommy", "Mama", "Mama Bear", "Mother", "Drammy", "Biddy" and "Biddy Mum-Mum", passed away on Tuesday, August 20th, 2019 at the young age of 67 years old while surrounded by her children and grandchildren.
Marian was born on February 12, 1952 in Newark, New Jersey. She was proceeded in death by her parents, Benjamin and Angela Rippo, as well as her older sister Katina Greeves.
She is survived by her four children; her son and his wife, David and Shannon Wianecki, her daughters Marissa Hankins and Lindsay Faust, and her youngest son and his partner, Michael Hankins and Danielle Strangio; her nine grandchildren, Alyxandria, Skylar, Cameron, Castin, Jaxson, Calais, Cael, Sophia and Corsica; her five siblings, Georgann, Lynn, Squirrel, Rosella and Patsy, and several nieces and nephews.
Marian was a purely kind and compassionate soul who always put the needs of other before her own. Her heart and her door were always open to everyone who needed her. She worked hard her whole life at Bell Atlantic. A dedicated and loving mother, Marian raised all four of her children on her own doing everything she could to ensure they all had the best life possible. She was also fully devoted to all nine of her grandchildren along with her nieces and nephews. Marian's love for dogs was well known and her dog Ava was ALWAYS by her side. She was intensely loyal to her family and she had an incredibly close connection to each one of her four children.

I am so sorry to hear of Marian's passing. I worked with Marian in Freehold at Bell Atlantic. She was always so nice and sweet. She loved her children with all of her heart and was so proud of them. She was a hard worker. When I got divorced and had to raise two children by myself, I often looked to Marian for guidance, advice and understanding. I will always remember her kindness and her smile

David, and the rest of "Sweet" Marian's Family, I am saddened by the reading of Marian's passing. I remember a vast number of talks Marian and I had when she lived in and I worked for the Township of Howell. Marian always had a special smile and sweet look in her eyes even when she was upset or not really happy about a certain situation. After we sat there and drank coffee or tea for sometime and talked to one another she would always "perk-up" and have positive things to say. She definitely talked sense into me during some of my "trying times". David, this was so long ago I remember you as this small toddler who just "lite-up" the room for her. If there was ever a woman who was a "Rock" it was mom. I know our Good Lord has a fantastic Angel standing next to him Looking Over her children and Grand children. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May God Bless you all.

Marian was such a good friend from 1973 when we worked in Newark. I will always miss her. ❤
