Marian Rippo Wianecki, also known as "Mommy", "Mama", "Mama Bear", "Mother", "Drammy", "Biddy" and "Biddy Mum-Mum", passed away on Tuesday, August 20th, 2019 at the young age of 67 years old while surrounded by her children and grandchildren.
Marian was born on February 12, 1952 in Newark, New Jersey. She was preceded in death by her parents, Benjamin and Angela Rippo, as well as her older sister Katina Greeves.
She is survived by her four children; her son and his wife, David and Shannon Wianecki, her daughters Marissa Hankins and Lindsay Faust, and her youngest son and his partner, Michael Hankins and Danielle Strangio; her nine grandchildren, Alyxandria, Skylar, Cameron, Castin, Jaxson, Calais, Cael, Sophia and Corsica; her five siblings, Georgann, Lynn, Squirrel, Rosella and Patsy, and several nieces and nephews.
Marian was a purely kind and compassionate soul who always put the needs of others before her own. Her heart and her door were always open to everyone who needed her. She worked hard her whole life at Bell Atlantic. A dedicated and loving mother, Marian raised all four of her children on her own doing everything she could to ensure they all had the best life possible. She was also fully devoted to all nine of her grandchildren along with her nieces and nephews. Marian's love for dogs was well known and her dog Ava was ALWAYS by her side. She was intensely loyal to her family and she had an incredibly close connection to each one of her four children.
