Obituary of LIDA MARIE BONGIOVANNI

 Lida (Marie) Roze Bongiovanni, 89, formally of East Brunswick, NJ passed away peacefully on March 2 in Warrington, PA.

Marie was born on January 23, 1934 to Hugo and Jennie (Lindholm) Roze in Kingston, NY.  She was raised in Brooklyn, NY, where she graduated as her class president.  She went on to work as an executive secretary for many years, continuing to work alongside her husband Fred at his CPA firm while raising their family.  Marie loved children and volunteered at a children's home as well.  She was quick with a joke and loved to take her grandchildren on shopping sprees to the infamous "DollarStore", never denying them of any little knick-knack they asked for.

Marie married her beloved Frederick on August 25, 1958.  They lived a full life, building memories with their family and travelling with close friends.  They were known for hosting big summer barbecues that are still talked about today.

She was predeceased by her husband by less than 3 weeks.  Soulmates from the beginning they could not bear to be apart.  They are survived by their 4 children: Richard (Dawn), Nancy (Don), Laura (Bob) and Robert (Michele), 15 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews and dear friends.
