Today we mourn the passing and celebrate the life of Marie Melchiorre-Michaels of Brick, New Jersey (3/17/67-10/8/22).

Marie was born in Queens, New York to the late Anna and Domizio Melchiorre. She was raised in Uniondale, Long Island before moving to New Jersey in 1994.

She began her career at Citigroup and continued at Merrill Lynch before finding her true calling, nursing, after the passing of her infant son, Joseph. Marie earned her associate degree in nursing and then went on to receive her RN shortly after. She began her career working in the ER at various hospitals before trading in her scrubs and becoming a Clinical Operations Manager. 

She was a devoted caregiver who always went above and beyond for her patients, leaving a lasting impact in the lives of many families. She cherished being a loving mother and was devoted to her children, Derek and Andrew. Family was her priority and she always made time for them, including Barney and Betty, her beloved dogs.

Marie is predeceased by her son, Joseph, her sister, Sarann Acosta and her parents.

She is survived by her two sons, Derek Rosado (his partner Dee Pettis) and Andrew Michaels, her three sisters, Donna Kube, Gina Picariello, and Toni Sargent, her brother, Michael Melchiorre as well as the devoted Michaels, Melchiorre and Rosado families. She was a devoted mother, sister, aunt, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, friend and will be with everyone forever and always. 

In lieu of traditional remembrances, please consider making a donation in Marie’s name to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia ( give2.chop.edu ) or to ASPCA (www.aspca.org).
