Marie was born in Atlantic City NJ to the late Michael Oprea and June Matt. She passed away at her home on Saturday, surrounded by her loving family. Marie was educated at St. Peter, the Apostle School, Penn Treaty Middle School and Kensington High.
Her working career began at Chalmers Bag Co, then at the Rainbow Shops and finally at Foster's Pharmacy.
Marie loved holding 'court ' on block 'B' which was from a beach chair in front of her house. She enjoyed Casino trips to her home town of Atlantic City and travelling to the Wildwood beaches. Her furbabies were Bella, LuLu and Gizzy. But most of all she loved spending with her grandchildren Sianni, Giovanni, Nikki, Louis and Marky.
