Florence Marino Kammerer's Obituary
Florence Marino Kammerer, 92, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on May 29, 2016. Florence was born in Ascoli Piceno, a small village in Italy, on August 1, 1924. She came to the United States and met the love of her life, Harry Marino. They were married during World War II and remained married for 52 wonderful years, until Harry’s passing. She began a new chapter in her life with her second husband “Bud” Kammerer who also preceded her in death. One of the greatest tragedies of her life, was the sudden loss of her son Harry Marino at age 52.
Florence will be remembered for her incredible culinary skills, which she lovingly passed down to her children and grandchildren. Her gastronomic traditions will live on through her family for many years to come. Another one of her amazing talents was her ability to create exquisite, wearable, works-of-art, both knitted and crocheted, which she enjoyed giving to her family and close friends. She was always available to share and teach these talents to others. Florence was an extremely devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She will be loved and missed.
Florence is survived by her daughter Mary, and her two sons John and Vincent; her grandchildren, Dylan (Bonnie) Comerford, Timothy (Tina) Comerford, Melissa (Sandro) Gasparini, Jillian Marino, Stephan (Cristina) Marino, Adrian Marino.
