Marie Jean

Favorito

Marie Favorito, age 99, passed away peacefully in her home in River Edge on Saturday October 21, 2023.  Beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother, Marie was a woman of great strength, compassion, an amazing cook, and above all else, a consummate family woman.  Fiercely dedicated to her family from a young age, Marie modeled what a true renaissance woman was way before the term was in fashion.  And speaking of fashion, Marie was always impeccably put together.

Marie was born on January 9, 1924 in Fairview, NJ to Carmela and Frank Guido.  She married Anthony Favorito in April of 1948 and settled in Fairview where they raised their beloved children, Linda, Joseph, and Anthony. She loved being a part of the community and worked at the Fairview A&P for many years.

Marie loved being social, traveling, and spending time with her beautiful family.  A devout Catholic, Marie was a member of the Rosary Altar Society.  In her later years she became a member of the Bergen Family Center where she met with friends and celebrated traditions.

Marie was predeceased by her adoring husband, Anthony Favorito, her son, Joseph Favorito and her brother Vincent Guido.  She is survived by her children Linda Metaxas and Anthony Favorito, grandchildren Michael Favorito, Sofia Waldow, Alisha Capicchioni, and Jim Metaxas, their spouses Jessica, Guenther, Richard, and Lauren, and her great-grandchildren Julia, Nicholas, Andrew, Cameron, Ava, Leo and Eden.
