Maryia Marshak

Maryia “May” Marshak, 99, passed away peacefully on Friday Dec. 11, 2015, at home with her immediate family by her side. Friends are invited to visit from 7 to 9pm on Monday at the Dooley Funeral Home, 218 North Ave West in Cranford. A mass of Christian burial will be held at 9:30 AM Tuesday, at Saint Michael’s Church, also in Cranford. Interment will follow in Holy Cross Cemetery in North Arlington, N.J. Born in Jersey City, May was a resident of Cranford, NJ, since 1956 and Seaside Park, NJ, since 1971. May was a graduate of Dickenson High School and was employed briefly with Woolworth’s Five and Dime store. She quit Woolworth’s because her boyfriend John, her future husband of 72 years, did not like her working Saturday nights. She then found employment with Colgate – Palmolive Company and was in the payroll department for over 30 years. After her retirement from Colgate, she worked part-time at the Borough Hall in Seaside Park, NJ, leaving at the age of 83. May was a devoted and caring wife, fantastic mother & grandmother, and a wonderful aunt to her many nieces and nephews. May had a wonderful and contagious “Colgate smile” that made others smile and feel good and was loved by all who knew her. She will truly be missed by all. May was predeceased by her beloved husband John “Tatu” of 72 years. She is survived by two loving children, Kenneth Marshak and Denise Wolff and two grandsons, John Wolff and Brian Marshak.
