Age 80. Nee Petrarca. Beloved wife of Salvatore "Sam". Loving mother of Dr. Sam (Martina) Marzo, Kerrie (Greg) Klitz, Kathy (Anthony) Rago, and Kim (Major Robert) Klein. Dearest grandma of Cassandra (Sam) Keller, Emily (Kevin) Goergen, Sam (Lucy) Marzo, Sofia DeLuca, Jack (Melissa) Marzo, Natalie Klitz, Mia Rago, Lindsey Klitz, and the late Megan and Grace Klitz. Proud Great-grandmother of Verity Keller, Summer Goergen, and Mason Marzo. Fond sister of Virginia (Terry) Schutz, and the late Kathleen (the late John) Poerio. Sister-in-law of the late Mary (Norval) Yancy. Wonderful aunt, cousin, and friend to many.
Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of a beloved wife, mom, and grandma. Fran was a devoted and faithful woman who filled our world with kindness and love. Her warmth, generosity, and faith were obvious to anyone who had the honor to meet and come to know her. Her legacy will forever be one of love, generosity, and compassion who found joy in bringing everyone together around her kitchen table and cooking for them.
She will be greatly missed, but her memory will live on with us forever.

Dear Marzo family, my heartfelt condolences to you on the loss of your wife, mom, grandma, aunt and friend. I had the distinct pleasure of getting to know your mom through church at the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart. I had an Aunt named Fran, and my connection with Fran was immediate. She loved her family and never missed an opportunity to say so.

I enjoyed talking with her and unfortunately we never had our "coffee date" but I am so glad that Mary and I spent time with her at home. She was a wonderful woman and I am a better person for knowing her. Sending prayers of comfort during this difficult time.
