Marianna was the BEST listener and easiest coworker one could ask for! She left a big mark at Kyocera and had her own family with all of us! We will always remember her and her sweet smile and treasure the years of memories we have with her.
RIP Marianna-we will miss you.

She was an amazing Nana, to me, and her grandsons. There was no one like her, as her smile could light up the room, and her kindness was contagious. She was my best friend, and favorite person, and I will miss her dearly. I’m fortunate enough to have the 17 years of memories with her. I love you, and miss you Nana.

My mother was a kind and selfless person who leaves a treasure trove of wonderful memories that will never be forgotten. She will be loved, missed, and remembered forever. Until we meet again in the afterlife.

Everyone loved Marianna. She was funny, kind always happy, smiling and make the people around her feel good. She was like a mother to all of us. I have known Marianna for over 20 years. We will all miss her. However, she is in a much better place now, where there is no suffering and no pain.

Here is poem by John F. Conner titled: I Never Left You (here the first paragraph)
I watch you every day; I am always with you
I know deep in your heart; You realize that I am here
I watch you while you sleep; In your bed or at home
I hear when you speak to me; When you are on your own
You cannot understand the reason that I have gone; But I will never leave you

Rest in peace Marianna

I celebrate the beautiful life of dear Marianna. To know Marianna is to know how much she loves her family. She spoke so highly and lovingly of each of you. The pure joy of her Grandchildren would keep her smiling with stories and laughter. She was so proud of her family and shared her blessing with us all at Kyocera. I will miss her so much but I know she is celebrating in heaven and watching over us with her brilliant love. Until we meet again dear friend. Xo.

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Marianna. From the first day I met her at Mita in May 1990, she was a terrific teammate, she had a wonderful sense of humor and provided motherly guidance and support to everyone in the office. Our deepest condolences to her family and friends, Marianna was a special lady and she will be missed.
