Marino Pelosi

1942 - 2017

Mr. Marino Pelosi, 75, passed away peacefully at his home in West Lake on June 30, 2017. He was born on May 20, 1942 to Adeline Cerullo and Antonio Pelosi. He was a communicant of the Church of the Most Holy Trinity (Fr. Jacek Szuster, Pastor).

Marino is survived by his cherished wife, Mary Ann Goodwin Pelosi; his aunt Lucia Pelosi; uncle Filomeno Pelosi (Lucette Parente) all of Cerreto Sannita, Italy; brothers Tony Pelosi (Donna) and Marty Pelosi (Kelly), all of Connecticut; daughter Dyan Pelosi Johnson (Erik) and two grandchildren, Cody and Sadie Johnson of California; daughter-in-law Jeannie Gray of Key West, Florida; and a host of cousins, nieces and nephews both in Cerreto Sannita, Italy and Connecticut. He was predeceased by the mother of his children, Elaine Fecchia Pelosi; his sister Mary Lou Pelosi; his toddler daughter Sheila; and his beloved son Tony.

Born in Waterbury, Connecticut, Marino graduated from Crosby High School in 1960; earned his undergraduate degree in chemical engineering from Lowell Technological Institute (now known as University of Massachusetts Lowell); and received an Executive MBA from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. He worked for Uniroyal, Inc. in Connecticut and Illinois, and De Laval in New York prior to his employment with Tranter, Inc. in Lansing, Michigan. Subsequently he transferred to Augusta, Georgia and Edgefield, South Carolina, serving as the Executive Vice President & Managing Director. Tranter, Inc. was purchased and eventually absorbed by Dover Corporation, New York.

Marino will be greatly missed by friends, colleagues and associates throughout the entire world.

Marino had a spectacular sense of humor, loved the game of golf, doted on his Jack Russell terriers and his cat George Hains, was an excellent gourmet chef (oh, what delicious eggplant parmesan!), had a passion for woodworking & carpentry, and especially enjoyed entertaining, socializing, and lifting a glass of Absolut with dear friends.

Mary Ann wishes to thank the medical community of Augusta; Marino benefitted greatly from the excellent care of his many physicians, nurses and therapists. She also wishes to thank Mrs. Wanda Attaway and Mr. Rusty Webster for their consistent and generous love and support during Marino's illness.

Service and interment will be held in Waterbury, CT. at a later date (arrangements by Elliott & Sons, Columbia Road, Martinez, Ga). If desired, Memorial contributions can be made to the Building Fund for the Church of the Most Holy Trinity in Augusta, Georgia. Please celebrate Marino's life with your own friends and families, and be sure to Live Life Large.
