North Lima – Mary Palumbo Marzano age 96 passed away May 17, 2025 surrounded by her loving family.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 40 years, Vito in July, 1988, her son, Charles (Chuckie) 1973, Sisters: Concetta, Frances, Brothers: Carl, Fred, Frank and Paul. Parents: Charles and Frances Palumbo.

Loving mother to Domenic (Martina) Marzano, and Vito (Shelly) Marzano. Grandmother to 9 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren, all of whom she crocheted blankets for. Mary was a little lady with a big heart. She is proudly known as the scarf lady.

She made them for needy children, family and friends. If you knew Mary , you probably have a scarf; per Mary's  request, she would like you to wear it if possible. It was truly a labor of love celebrating the life of her son Chuckie who passed away at the age of 21. Mary with the support of her husband, sons and community, donated 3 kidney dialysis machines for Northside Hospital in 1974 because the kidney machines were not available in our area. Mary said I want no other mother or child to leave this area for treatment. Family support is everything. It was her way of giving back to the community. The community who rallied and helped raise funds through the Charles Marzano Kidney Fund.

When asked how she would like to be remembered, she replied "I love God, my 3 boys and all of my grandchildren and great grandchildren. I enjoy making sauce, afghans and scarves. I made people happy. "No truer words were ever spoken.

The family would like to thank Dr. Charles Wilkins, and Ventura at Assumption Village.
