Marina, better known to us all as "Mamá", was the light of her family. A true caretaker who nourished the spirits of those around her with her warm embrace and soft tone. Marina was a simple woman who never asked for much. A lush, vibrant garden and a vast, spiritually wealthy family was all that she'd request. Marina would often find comfort in staying up, studying her bible and ensuring that any visiting bellies were full. Marina was regarded as the "Queenbee" for good reason. She was a giver of life, protector of the home and mother to all whom she loved. Mamá you will be deeply missed, never forgotten and always honored while you take your seat beside God for eternity ever after.

A Funeral Service will be held on Monday, April 7, 2025 at 10 am, at Vestal Hills Memorial Park, Tower of Memories Chapel, Old Vestal Rd., Vestal, NY. The family will receive friends at the Coleman & Daniels Funeral Home, 300 E. Main St. Endicott, NY on Sunday April 6th from 5 to 8 pm.

Marina, mejor conocida como "Mamá", fue la luz de su familia. Una verdadera sierva y guerrera de Dios que alegraba el espíritu de quienes la rodeaban con su cálido abrazo y su voz suave. Marina era una mujer sencilla que nunca pedía mucho. Un jardín exuberante y vibrante y una familia numerosa y espiritualmente rica era todo lo que pedía. Marina solía encontrar consuelo estudiando la Biblia y asegurándose de que las visitas estuvieran bien alimentadas. Marina era considerada la "Abeja Reina" con razón. Era dadora de vida, protectora del hogar y madre de todos sus seres queridos. Mamá, te extrañaremos profundamente, nunca te olvidaremos y siempre te honraremos mientras te sientas junto a Dios por la eternidad
