Marla Mangogna Obituary
March 6, 1943 - June 5, 2021
Saint Louis, Missouri - Marla Maureen Mangogna, 78, left to be with the Lord on June 5, 2021. Born March 6, 1943, in St. Louis to Stanley Mangogna and Santa (Sirna) Mangogna, she was baptized at St. Augustine church. She attended St. Augustine School, All Saints School, Mercy High School, and St. Louis University, graduating in 1965 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English.
Marla worked in the telecommunications industry for 45 years beginning at Southwestern Bell until her retirement from AT&T, where she led teams designing and troubleshooting systems. Her work brought her to the Pacific Northwest, and later to Kansas City, which she called home for 40 years.
Marla was passionate about her faith, her church, and her family. She volunteered on the board and committees at Holy Family Parish in Kansas City, and taught adults catechism and children in Sunday school. A season ticket holder to the Kansas City Symphony, Marla loved good food (particularly Sicilian pasta), especially when shared with friends and family.
Preceded in death by her parents and her brother John Mangogna C.M. Survivors include her son, Anthony (Cathy) Sims; her grandchildren, Anthony, Alexis, and Mia; one sister, Joan Finnegan and four brothers, Vito Mangogna, Thomas Mangogna, Stanely Mangogna and Mark Mangogna; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was a friend with Marla through work at AT&T. We enjoyed many years of friendship and going to events together. She always kept me informed of her family and grandkids and I enjoyed our time together so much. I know she loved her church and friends there.

We crossed paths with Marla many years ago when we had the apartment above her. Then, later at Holy Family. She was always so friendly and interested in how we were doing. Such a nice lady. Sorry for your loss.
