Marie Scime Obituary
Marie Scime, 102, formerly of Stamford, passed peacefully at home on Sunday, December 21, 2025. She was born in Italy on October 18, 1923 to the late Vito and Catherine Sperduto Calabrese.
She was an incredible and loving woman whose heart was always open. She had a remarkable gift for making everyone she met feel loved. Guided by her faith, she lived with kindness, generosity, and a deep trust in God. She found great joy in dancing, spending time with people, and celebrating life's simple pleasures. A true social butterfly, she loved meeting new people and was instantly adored for her warmth, charm, and genuine spirit. Her laughter, faith, and unwavering love for family and friends will remain a lasting blessing to all who knew her.
Marie is survived by her son, Leonard Volpe, and her daughter, Virginia Robertson. She is survived by her seven grandchildren, nineteen great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her brother, Anthony Calabrese.

Dear Leonard and Virginia, as teenagers me and my sisters were always at Marie's store on Greenwich Ave., usually buying ice cream or candy. I remember that she normally dressed in black and had the most beautiful hair. I'm glad she lived a long life and God bless all of the children she was fortunate to have. Sincerely, Betty Genovese, Myrtle Beach SC

Virginia, you may not remember me but I lived on Greenwich Avenue in the early 1960s. I remember your store and your beautiful mother. First time I ever bought a Ring Ding was at Flavorland. May your mother rest in peace. So sorry for your loss. Nancy Creech Carlucci
