Monica J. Marcozzi

Monica J. Marcozzi passed from this world peacefully on January 18, 2019 surrounded by her family, just as she had hoped at the age of 81. Born in Wilmington, Delaware to Peter and Helen Jakubowski, she was preceded in death by her sisters, Anamay (Sugar) Bellanca, Holly Jackson and Suzanne Bachand. She is survived by Ronald, her loving husband of 58 years, and her four children, Elise (Brad) Bobbitt, Michael (Andrea), Guy (Tina) and Peter (Kathleen); ten grandchildren, Amy, Chris (Gracie) and Abby Bobbitt, Alison, Peyton and Nicholas Marcozzi, Jesse and Tabatha Marcozzi, Dante and Alexander Marcozzi, and one great grandchild, David Bobbitt.

Monica graduated as valedictorian from St. Hedwig’s High School in 1956, raised a happy family and worked alongside her husband in founding and administering Marcozzi Enterprises and later Marcozzi Properties. She was proud of her Polish heritage but always valued her adopted Italian ethnicity, including her membership in the Guiseppe Verdi Society and the Friends of Italian Culture. Monica was a quiet philanthropist and volunteered for many causes. She found her time working with children at AI DuPont Hospital for Children and at her volunteer work at St. Josephs on the Brandywine to be highly rewarding. Bright, beautiful, personable, intelligent and talented, Monica was a voracious reader, conversationalist, and vocalist. Most importantly, she was a loving matriarch, and each member of her family will always remember her as their biggest fan.

Monica will be remembered by those who loved her as relentlessly positive in transcending life’s trials. Her kindness and gentleness was contagious to everyone around her, enriching the lives of all those with whom she came in contact, especially her family’s, with continual encouragement and support.

A mass of Christian burial will be held at 10:30 AM, Thursday, January 24, 2019 at St. Joseph on the Brandywine in Greenville, Delaware. Visitation will precede the mass at 9:30am at the church. Burial services will immediately follow at the St. Joseph on the Brandywine cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in her name to her lifelong cause, Little Sisters of the Poor, 185 Salem Church Road, Newark, Delaware 19713.
