Marmarou, Rose, age 79, died the morning of Wednesday, January 30, 2019, in her home, peacefully surrounded by family, and now rests with God. She is survived by and lives eternally through her devoted daughters, Dr. Christina Rose Marmarou and her husband, Mr. Linwood Mason Lockhart, II, and Mrs. Valere Lawler and her husband, Mr. Michael Lawler; her grandchildren, Dr. Anthony Pellicane and his wife, Dr. Brenda Pellicane, Mr. Joseph Pellicanem and Miss Katelyn and Jennifer Lawler; great-grandchildren, Lukas and Phoebe Pellicane; and brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph and Elenor Morris.
Mrs. Rose Marmarou was born on September 1, 1939, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene and Rose Morris. Loved by all of her nieces and nephews, Aunt Rose will be dearly missed. She was preceded in death by her husband, Dr. Anthony Marmarou. Rosie was devoted and delighted by her husband, Tony. She was a very proud wife, mother, and grandmother, “Yia-yia.” Her commitment to the success, well-being and education of her daughters and grandchildren was formidable. She was a superb homemaker and provided a nurturing environment for her family to grow and prosper; she was a talented artist and enjoyed writing children’s fairy tales and she was an exceptional cook and a lover of nature. As a community leader, she believed in civic duty and freedom and equality for all and was proud to be instrumental in the Virginia campaign to elect President Barrack Obama. “Yia-yia” taught her family to be kind and to love and cherish each other, to succeed with tenacity and grace. Her benevolent nature, funny sense of humor and reserved leadership touched all who knew her and will continue in our hearts as our rock of all ages. To celebrate the life of their dear mother and grandmother, a funeral service was held February 8 at the Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Cathedral, followed by a private interment service at Westhampton Memorial Park.
