Marie P. (Romanous) Cottone

March 17, 1921 - April 27, 2018

Marie P. Cottone (nee Romanous) was called to meet her Lord on April 27, 2018 after a long illness. Born March 17, 1921, she graduated from Lawrence High School the Class of 1939. She married Anthony J. Cottone, deceased 1984. She was the typical doing mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother and wore her family as jewels on her sleeves. She leaves three children, Augusta A. (David) Duteau of Leominster, Vincent P. (Linda M.) of Bonita Springs, FL, and Kimberly C. (Dennis) McCumber of Marlborough. Her grandchildren Dina L. Finos of North Andover, Lauren A. Cherdak of Gaithersburg, MD, Courtney Duteau of Rindge, NH and Tess McCumber of Marlborough. Her great-grandchildren Emily and Olivia Lynch of North Andover, Harry and Charlie Cherdak of Gaithersburg, MD and Antonia Duteau-Young of Rindge, NH. She retired from Digital Equipment Corporation and took her position behind the kitchen stove where she prepared meals of Mediterranean delights. She took great pride in her family’s recipe’s and shared them with her “girls.” There was always food on her table and no one ever left her home hungry. Mom was a member of St. Anthony’s as well as the Merrimack Valley Philharmonic Society. We appreciate the compassionate care provided by Compassus Hospice and Palliative Care, North Andover and the caring staff of The Prescott House, especially Sharon, Kate and Maria.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Anthony Maronite Church, 145 Amesbury St, Lawrence on Tuesday, May 1, 2018 at 11 AM. To honor Marie’s wishes interment will be privately held.
