Marcia Gargiulo

Naples, FL

Marcia Gargiulo passed away peacefully on April 26, 2019 in Naples, Florida at age 78 after a long battle with Parkinson's disease.

Marcia Brown grew up in Dorchester, MA. She worked in Boston as a legal secretary where she met her soon to be husband, Tony

Gargiulo, and begin their 57 year marriage. Their family was blessed with four children (Carol, David, Lisa and Joseph) who they raised first in Arlington, MA and later in Dover, MA. They enjoyed every summer at New Seabury on Cape Cod, MA. Marcia and Tony would spend the winters of their later years in Marco Island, FL.

Marcia was a beautiful woman, a wonderful wife and a loving mother. She loved to travel and she and Tony enjoyed many trips throughout the world and of which, Italy was her favorite. Marcia enjoyed the arts and was a skilled painter and once was "The Guest Conductor" at The Mashpee Pops. Marcia was an avid golfer and she frequently and successfully played at New Seabury and Marco Island Country Clubs. Marcia loved most spending time with her family.

Marcia is pre-deceased by her parents, John and Hazel Brown, her younger brother, Alan Brown and her younger sister, Karen (Brown) Skiver. Marcia is also pre-deceased by three of her four children: David, Lisa and Joseph Gargiulo; as well as by her grandson, Richie Bellis. Marcia is survived by her husband, Tony Gargiulo, her daughter, Carol Bellis and her grandsons, Joseph and Maximillian Gargiulo; as well as her sisters, Katie Foley and Jackie Schultz and her brothers, Michael and Jim Brown.

Marcia's life was both blessed and also with significant adversity. She suffered many family tragedies and a

horrible illness. However, Marcia handled these challenges with extraordinary courage and grace. We are comforted that Marcia is now reunited with many family members.

Mrs G was my second mother. From a very young age, she and Mr G welcomed me in as one of the "Gargiulo kids". I was a permanent fixture in their home and was so grateful for their kindness and warmth. Mrs G was a stunningly gorgeous woman, who really did not realize how radiant her beauty was. She was elegant, humble, sweet and kind, as well as a devoted mother. My fondest memories of her were walking into the house at dinner time surrounded by the delicious smells of her home cooked meals, fresh baked cookies and desserts that she had made that day. My absolute favorite attributes of hers were her beautiful smile, her unique gentle, infectious laugh and her wonderful sense of humor. As a child, I was amazed at how gracefully she would smile and laugh at her children, even when they exasperated her, as of course, all children do. I remember thinking to myself, "Wow, what an amazing example of graciousness she is! When I grow up, I want to be just like Mrs G!" Even as disease took over her beautiful body, she remained gracious, fun loving, smiling and laughing. Even recently in the past couple of years, when we would visit with her, her pretty blue eyes would light up and shone brightly, even through her difficulties. I loved her beyond what words can express. Mr G, Carol & Jerry, I am beyond saddened for your loss. The heavens have gained another angel.
