Marie C Tirrito

She thoroughly enjoyed crossword puzzles and word jumbles, and was a Hollywood aficionado. She loved the fall season, and especially loved her cats. Above all, she treasured family.

She is survived by her husband, Salvatore Tirrito, son Gaetano Sidaras-Tirrito and his husband Michael of East Stroudsburg, son Frank C. Tirrito and his girlfriend Kathleen of Emmaus, grandson Christian F. Tirrito and his girlfriend Melissa of Wind Gap and Aiden R. Tirrito of Havertown.
