Marina Eleanor Sacchetti (Mattioli) passed away, surrounded by her family, on Tuesday October 26, 2021 in Morganton, NC after a courageous battle with cancer. She was 77 years old.
Marina was born on September 16, 1944 to Dr. Delmo and Licia (Galletti) Mattioli i n Bologna, Italy. She went on to graduate from Sacred Heart High School in Vineland, New Jersey. Soon after, she met and married the love of her life, Paolo, in Bologna, Italy. They were married for 55 years at the time of her death. Their son, Mario, was born in Bologna, Italy. Marina took great pride in being a wife and watching their son become an accomplished Orthopedic Surgeon and Physician.
Marina was wise beyond her education. She enjoyed sewing, knitting, crafts, going to the beach, traveling everywhere and anywhere, reliving her days as a youth cheerleader, and most of all spending time with her three grandchildren. She was monumentally involved in their everyday lives and will be tremendously missed by them. She was a member of St. Michael’s Church in Vineland, NJ and also attended St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Morganton, NC.
Marina was preceded in death by her parents Delmo and Licia Mattioli.
Marina is survived by her husband Paolo, son Mario (wife Megan), grandson Mario, grand-daughters Emma and Ellie, sister Margaret (partner Robin) and numerous other family members and friends.
A celebration of Marina’s life will be planned at a future date.
