She was the last to go of her immediate family. I hope that she is enjoying the company of the ones she loved who went before her. I’ll love you forever, Aunt Mari and I’ll never forget how kind you were to me and those who knew you. Rest in peace. Hugs to Dad, Nana, Grandpop, Uncle Bob, and Pete.

My family, I am so sorry for this loss. I’m actually wearing her ring that was given to Michael right before our wedding. Sorry I never got the chance to get down to Florida to meet her, but I’ve heard so many wonderful stories. Love you all.

Aunt Mary,
You will be missed dearly… We always had a special bond because we have the same initials. I have the ring you gave me that has both of our initials on it and I think of you everytime I look at. I love you and I will always remember you.

What a great lady! I knew her from the Brookfield Playhouse working on a play and she was so humorous, intelligent, warm and kind, always tirelessly volunteering to make the show the best. She was loved by all who knew her and was also a great friend to my mom.

Dennis, sorry to hear of Marianne’s passing, i have many memories of her and her mother across the street from my parents. My mother spoke to Marianne often until her passing.

Joanne Gregory says
With deepest condolences to the family of Marianne Dahill. I had the pleasure of working with Marianne at J. C. Penney in Danbury, CT many, many years ago. She was always very kind and helpful to me and the customers she served. Special thoughts to Marianne’s nieces, Michelle and Stacey. I remember working with both young ladies as a primary grade teacher in the Bethel, CT school system.
With sympathy,
Joanne Gregory
