Marion Reviello, age 65, of Old Forge, passed away Wednesday afternoon at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center after an illness. She is survived by her loyal husband, devoted caretaker and best friend, John Reviello. Wed on August 20, 1966, the couple were married for 47 years.
Born in Taylor on January 9, 1949, daughter of the late Salvie and Beatrice Bissitte Lettieri, Marion attended the former Moosic High School. After earning a degree in cosmetology from Empire Beauty School, she worked as a self-employed beautician. After becoming a Certified Nurse’s Aid, she worked at the Gino Merli Veteran’s Center in Scranton prior to her retirement. She was a longtime member of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Taylor.
She had a talent for the craft of knitting, having made afghans for all of her family. She was also an animal lover who adored her dog, Pugsley. An avid traveler who had fond memories of her time spent in Italy, her favorite stop had always been San Francisco’s Pier 39. An amazing wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend to many, she’ll be long remembered and missed by all of those who loved her.
She is also survived by her adoring children, her son, John Reviello and wife Josephine of Drums, and her daughters, Bernadine Haas and husband Robert of Taylor, Michielle and Stacey Reviello, both of Old Forge, and Becky Belotti and husband Jamie of Duryea; her brothers, Joseph Lettieri and wife Marie of Old Forge and Thomas Lettieri and wife Patricia of Alabama; half siblings, Patricia Bissitte and Robert (Bobby) O’Neill of North Carolina; six grandchildren; three great grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
A beloved daughter, Candy Reviello; and a brother, Robert Lettieri, also preceded her in death.
Her family would like to thank Dr. John Prior; Dr. Kenneth Sebastianelli; and the entire staff of DaVita Dialysis, for their collective care during Marion’s illness.
