Mary Ann Rufo Marshall Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 19, 2023.
Beloved wife of Nicholas Marshall, cherished mother of Jennifer (Andrew), Leslie (Mauro) and Caroline (Kenny) and beloved aunt Mimi to her niece Diane. She was the baby of her loving family, adored by her parents Carmelo and Elvira Rufo, brothers Peter and Larry and her sister Lucy, who predeceased her. Mary (Nana) was deeply loved by her nine grandchildren: Sophia, Nico, Theo, Sam, Lucas, Nina, Mary, Ivy and Oonagh and they were her greatest joy in life.

Mary was born and raised in New York City, graduated from Hunter High School and Hunter College, and was an entrepreneur way ahead of her time with the founding of a temporary staffing agency for New York's top law firms. Mary loved to travel and with Nick introduced her daughters to the art and culture of Europe and inspired their love of travel, food, exploration, and collecting beautiful art and objects from around the world. She was a true New Yorker who devoured the New York Times every day and followed politics closely, and always voiced her very strong opinions. She accomplished so much in her rich, colorful life and she will be remembered most for her devotion to her family.

Mary's family is eternally grateful to the staff, aides, nurses and doctors at Willow Gardens in New Rochelle - a special group of angels who loved her and cared for her as if she was their mother. In lieu of flowers we hope you will consider a donation to Willow Gardens at United Hebrew of New Rochelle.

Loved visiting Mary, Nick, Jennifer, Leslie, and Caroline over the years. Particularly during my college years when Nick and Mary were so kind to host and include me for Thanksgivings.
