In her remarkable 107 years, Marion owned two small retail businesses (in Ybor City and South Tampa), loved to decorate her home for the holidays and entertain family and friends, opening her home to hundreds at Christmas and Easter. She was an amazing cook of all Italian dishes, a beautiful artist and crafter, and shared that love with all those around her. The family would like to express it's love and appreciation for Marion's longtime caregiver, Gloria Martinez, who cared for her the last 20 years of Marion's life, including the last 10 years, in Gloria's home. Gloria was the devoted daughter Marion never had. A visitation will be held 6-8 pm Thursday, April 26, 2018 at Boza and Roel Funeral Home, 4730 N. Armenia Ave. in Tampa.
