Mary Marchetti passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 5, 2018, just 3 months before her 95th birthday. Until the last couple of years, and even until her dementia turned into the last stages of Alzheimers in the last few months, she was her usual happy, healthy, spunky, vivacious self, She loved life and never met a person she didn’t like. Her life was full of laughter, jokes, funny stories and she thanked God every day for giving her another day….and he did. “Young at heart” was an understatement if you were describing her. She was widowed at age 60, worked at the Arizona Golf Association until she was 82. She spent the last 15 years with Hank Lacabanne, her best friend, companion and love of her life! They danced traveled, and enjoyed every day. She was preceded in death by her husband Mariano, daughter Roseann Marchetti and son, Michael Marchetti.
A loving mother, she is survived by daughter Sharon Contorno, grandchildren Michael Waters (Francine) and Lisa Hahn, great grandchildren Josh, Jordan and Jake Hahn, Trevor, Taylor and Christian Waters, and great, great grandchildren Adelina and Kayson Hahn. We were blessed to have her with for 5 generations. Her time on earth was a true “celebration of life”. RIP Mary Marchetti.
