Obituary
Joseph Marsicano, 79, passed away peacefully Sunday morning. Born in Hazleton, he was the son of the late Joseph and Anna Marsicano. Joe was also preceded in death by his beloved wife, Joanne, with whom he is now reunited, and his brother-in-law, Rocco Fallabel.
Surviving are his daughter, Maria Mignogna and her husband, Michael, of Malvern; his cherished grandchildren, Lucia and Michael Mignogna; and his sister, Lorraine Fallabel, of Drums. He also is survived by his aunt, Jennie Stola and numerous cousins.
Joe was a 1968 graduate of Bloomsburg University. He dedicated 37 years to the Hazleton Area School District, spending most of his career as a teacher before later serving as an administrator.
Joe enjoyed gardening and took great pride in planting his impatiens each year. Passersby would often stop to admire the beautiful flowers surrounding his home. More than anything, Joe will be remembered for his patience, kindness, and the warmth he shared with everyone fortunate enough to know him.
He was a devoted husband, a wonderful father, and the very best grandfather his grandchildren could have asked for. Whether he was making pancakes at 6 a.m., painting, reading books, or baking, Joe was a hands-on grandfather who led with love every single day. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered as truly one of a kind.
The family will receive friends from 9 to 10 A.M. on Friday, May 29th, in Our Lady of Peace Parish at Most Precious Blood Church, Hazleton. A Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 10 A.M. Burial will take place in Calvary Cemetery, Drums.
Those wishing to honor Joe’s memory may make contributions to the Hazleton Salvation Army, 356 W. Broad St., Hazleton, PA 18201.
Joseph A. Moran Funeral Home, 229 W. 12th St., Hazleton, is entrusted with the arrangements. -
