Marie Roseanne Logios (nee Chiocco), 99, of Eatontown, NJ passed away Wednesday, November 1, 2023 on all Saints Day in Riverview Hospital after a brief illness. Most recently she lived at Jersey Shore Nursing Home, where both residents and visitors would stop me in the halls and tell me what a wonderful person mom was, always happy, cheerful and ready to help anyone, and how much she made an impact on everyone and touched their lives.
Marie was born September 6, 1924 in Brooklyn, New York to Catherine and Anthony Chiocco. After graduating high school, she went to work in New York City as a seamstress for Hattie Carnegie and Christian Dior. She also owned a luncheonette where she did all of the cooking and a gas station. She has one daughter, Valerie.
She had many passions and talents. She loved to cook and bake and make her own pasta. She loved to read, and installed this love in her daughter . She also enjoyed music, especially opera. She sewed and designed her own clothes, which she made in miniature for her daughter's Barbie dolls. She was very handy and painted walls, hung wallpaper and laid down a cement driveway. Marie was very religious, loved God and always gave generously to the Church. But above all, she was a loving and dedicated mother to her daughter, Valerie and her grandsons, Nicholas and Daniel.
Marie is survived by her loving daughter, Valerie Dassaro and her beloved grandsons, Nicholas and Daniel Dassaro, her nieces Michelle Levine, Patricia Stokes and Carol Gaffney and her nephew Anthony (Tony) Chiocco. She is predeceased by her mother and father, Catherine and Anthony Chiocco, her brother Dominic (Danny) Chiocco and her sisters Carmela Losinno and Catherine DelGaudio.
