Carmen Pellegrino Obituary
Born in San Mango D'Aquino, Provincia Di Catanzaro, Italy, he was the son of the late Antonio and Giovanna Fiorillo Pellegrino.
Carmen immigrated to the United States in 1969, with his family at the age of 12, settling in Scranton. He was a graduate of Scranton Central High School.
He was the co-owner of Maroni's Pizza, a West Scranton institution for numerous years. Carmen truly enjoyed his work, and the camaraderie of working with his family and trusted, loyal employees brought him much joy, but his passion was to satisfy his countless customers that became friends over the years.
Some of his favorite pastimes were golfing and playing cards with his friends, but most of all spending time with his family especially his children and cherished grandchildren.
He was a member of St. Ann's Basilica Monastery Parish and San Mango D'Aquino Mutual Benefit Society, where he was a member for over 40 years and served as the treasurer for most of them.
He was loved and will be missed by all who knew him.
Also surviving are a son, Carmen Jr. and wife, Stefanie, Roaring Brook Twp.; a daughter, Rosa Marion and husband, Michael, York, Pa.; four granddaughters, Sofia, Cara and Alyssa Pellegrino, and Harper Marion; a grandson, Michael Marion III; two sisters, Rosa Torquato and husband, Pietro, Lyss, Switzerland; and Josephine Coccimiglio and husband, Tony, Scranton; a brother, Domenick and wife, Rosaria, Scranton; a sister in-law, Franca Pellegrino, Italy; several nieces and nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles.
He was preceded in death by a brother, Gennaro.
The funeral will be conducted Saturday from the Miller Bean Funeral Home Inc., 436 Cedar Ave., with Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. in St. Ann's Basilica Monastery Church, 1250 St. Ann St., Scranton. Interment will follow at Cathedral Cemetery. Family and friends may pay their respects Friday, 4 to 7 p.m., at the Miller Bean Funeral Home, 436 Cedar Ave., Scranton.

I am at a loss for words. My thoughts and prayers go to his family. Carmen always made me feel at home when I came to his pizza shop even after moving away he remembered my name after being gone away for 14 plus years. I always tell my tenants you are living near the best pizza in the world. I will sorely miss that happy face greeting me whenever I got my 'vegan' pizza. He also had a food allergy and was always so accommodating to my dairy issues. I will miss you Carmen!

No words can describe the sadness I feel for Carm's family. I was raised on Maroni's Pizza and I am convinced that the secret ingredient has always been love. I will miss seeing Carm when I get my small round extra cheese, and I will especially miss his warm and welcoming greeting every single time I walked in. To the Pellegrino family, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love to you all and God Bless...XO

I was only a customer, not even very regular at that.
I'm so sad for his family. He was so nice and just had a way about him I can't describe. He felt like a friend and he doesn't even know me.
Great man. You are lucky to have had him.

I'm so sorry to see this.
Carmen had a way about him that you didn't mind waiting 2 hours on a Friday during Lent because he always made you feel like you were visiting a friend's house.
He always had a smile. I imagine that is how he is now, smiling & being welcomed...just as he treated so many people.
