Marlene Manuszak Obituary

Visit the Bagnasco & Calcaterra Funeral Home - Sterling Heights website to view the full obituary.
Marlene Ann Manuszak, age 90, passed away peacefully on March 27, 2026.

Beloved wife of the late Daniel. Loving and devoted mother of Marlynn (Andrew) Drygas, Michel (Kevin) Weiss, Colleen (Debra Pikora) Manuszak, Denise (Philip) Conigliaro, Terry (Delain) Bomer, Kimberley (Anthony) Salerno, Nannette (Butch) Beckman, Kathy Lynn (Holly Evan) Manuszak, and Danielle (Timothy) Harrison. Cherished grandmother of 19 and proud great-grandmother of 22.

Marlene was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Hazel Oldani, and her siblings, Raymond and Mary Jean.

Marlene's family was her greatest joy and the center of her world. She devoted her life to her children and grandchildren, creating a legacy of love, strength, and togetherness that will live on through each of them.

She looked forward each year to her cherished trips to Williamsburg, Virginia, where she enjoyed relaxing moments and her traditional mint julep. Marlene also found joy in life's simple pleasures, including visits to the casino-especially playing her favorite Buffalo slot machine. At the age of 50, she discovered a love for golf, a passion she shared with her beloved husband Daniel, along with many happy times spent bowling together. She also loved playing card games, especially Poker and 500 Rummy, often gathering with her family for laughter-filled games.

Marlene will be remembered for her warmth, her love of family, and the countless memories she created with those she held dear. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
