Marina was a parishioner of St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Sarasota and a member of the women's group. Marina also socialized with a group of women called the "The Posse”.
Though Marina’s health was failing for years, few people knew the extent to which she struggled. Her joy for life and indomitable spirit kept her pushing through the pain.
A visitation for Marina will be held Wednesday, May 12, 2021 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM with a prayer service being held at 5:30 PM at Robert Toale and Sons Funeral Home at Palms Memorial Park, 170 Honore Ave, Sarasota, FL 34232.
Her family asks in lieu of flowers donations be made to Neuro Challenge Foundation for Parkinson’s. (https://www.neurochallenge.org)
