Margaret Julia Marrapodi

Margy was born in Brooklyn, NY, to Olivia and Fioravante Sorrentino. She was the beloved wife of more than 55 years of the late Joseph Marrapodi, devoted mother of Gregg Marrapodi, Richard and his wife Jennifer Marrapodi, the late Christopher Marrapodi, Keith Marrapodi and Cynthia LeRoy and her husband, John. She was blessed with 13 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.

Margy’s family was her main priority. She took great pride in raising her children with love, strength and dedication. In addition to running her household in East Brunswick, NJ, she was Co-owner and bookkeeper of Joe’s 516 Auto Center and later went to work at Hilltop Labs, before retiring to Port Charlotte, FL, where she lived for almost 30 years.

Margy had a loving relationship with her sister June Grimaldi, and her niece and nephews, whom she adored. Margy was blessed with many wonderful and close friends. Her best friend “and neighbor”, Pat Barabas, her husband John, and their children were a constant in her life, along with friends from “club” and colleagues at Hilltop Labs. She loved them all dearly.

Margy loved a good party, loved to dance and was known for having a song for any occasion. She was an active member of her churches both in NJ and Florida and had great faith and love for her Heavenly Father.

A Celebration of Life Mass will be held at Corpus Christi Church, 234 Southern Blvd. Chatham Township, NJ, on Monday, August 16, 2021, at 11:30 AM. Margy will be laid to rest with her husband, Joe and son, Christopher, in Port Charlotte, Florida where they will celebrate her life at a Memorial Mass at Maximillian-Kolbe Roman Catholic Church.
