While working as a dental assistant for a Hoboken, NJ dentist, the town in which she was born and raised, she met her future husband, Sam. He knew from the first moment he saw her that she was the "Lovely Lady" he was going to marry. They, in fact, were married on June 8, 1947 and just celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary in their residence in Paragon Village in Hackettstown, NJ. They lived in Hoboken until 1981 when they moved to Manalapan, NJ where they lived before moving to Washington, NJ in 1991. While living in Hoboken, Marietta held a series of important jobs. She worked as a dental assistant when her son was born. She was a stay -at -home mom until 1954 and then returned as a part-time dental assistant job until 1962. In 1962, she returned to work full time at Stevens Institute in Hoboken. Initially, she worked in the print shop. After a few years she was asked to run the entire print shop. Her success there was the reason for the Administration to ask her to change careers again and she became Postmistress of the Stevens Tech Post Office. She held this position until she retired from Stevens Institute in May, 1986. In addition to raising a family and working, Marietta was active in the Democratic Club in Hoboken and served as President. She also was very involved in the various Mothers' Clubs at her son's grammar school and high school. Marietta will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her.
