Born in Bridgeport on May 8, 1937, she was a daughter of the late Carl and Josephine Damiani Donofri. Marge worked for several years at the St. Andrew Church Rectory, cooking and cleaning for the priests and deacons.

She was a loving wife, aunt, neighbor and friend who will be truly missed by all who knew her.
