Dr Marino dedicated a lot of her life to instructing future teachers to become well trained to educate children. She was extremely intelligent and work driven. She will be missed by many and remembered for many years to come. I offer my condolences to her children whom I babysat when you were very small; and to her grandchildren who I am sure sure loved her dearly.
