June 24, 1931 - August 25, 2022
Marie Marino – loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother – was born in Lamar, Oklahoma on June 24, 1931 and passed away on August 25, 2022 at the age of 91. She is reunited with her beloved husband Ernie, as well as her mother Eva, father Charlie (King) and her beloved brothers and sisters.
Marie moved from Oklahoma to California when she was 10 years old, eventually settling in Stockton and graduating from Stockton High. She would fondly tell the story of how she met the love of her life, Ernie – as a last minute replacement on a blind date back in 1950. They were married on April 1, 1955 (a date picked by Ernie, a jokester at heart). A dedicated mother and homemaker, Marie, together with Ernie, built a wonderful family. Once Ernie retired, they enjoyed traveling across country in their motorhome. In later years, they were members of The Tracy Wildlife Association. They enjoyed vacationing at their Lake Tahoe timeshare as well. Wherever Marie and Ernie were, there would be food and drink, family and friends, laughter and good times.
Our dear Marie is survived by son Dale Marino and wife Melanie (grandson Brandon Marino and Jessica - great grandchildren Carson, Brooke and Aria; granddaughter Stacy Siville and husband Kevin – great grandson Trevor; grandson Nicholas Marino and wife Tzitzitlini - great grandchildren Robert and Alessandra); son Daniel Marino (grandson Justin Marino and wife Kelsey - granddaughters Audrina and Aria; granddaughter Kelsey Marino); and son Mark Marino and wife Trisha (granddaughters Taylor and Lauren).
Marie will be missed, but never forgotten. We will forever remember her infectious laugh and easy going nature. It was these very qualities that gained her many friends in her years spent without Ernie at Oakmont of Brookside. She made an impact on all those she befriended. The family would like to thank the caring staff at Oakmont, many of whom loved our Marie just as we did.
