Marion (Mary) Ragusa of Saugus, formerly of Revere, passed away peacefully on April 28th, 2024.

Marion was born in Grammichele, Sicily on April 8th,1943, and entered the United States with her family on March 1,1949.  After living in Saugus and Lynn for a brief period, the family settled in Revere where Marion attended Revere High School.  She went on to graduate from the New England School of Design and subsequently taught sewing and dressmaking at Revere and Brookline High Schools.  After teaching, Marion joined New England Telephone/Verizon where she retired after 40 years of service.

Marion’s dedication to the welfare of animals was paramount by her love for her many pets and support to animal organizations.  In her retirement, she not only loved her pets but enjoyed her time with her friends at the Saugus and Peabody Senior Center.

Marion is survived by her sister Carmelina (Ragusa) Guarino and her many nieces and nephews. She is also preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Marion (Rizzotto) Ragusa, and her brothers Mario Ragusa and Michael Ragusa.
