Marilyn Beatrice Barletto (née Hasselman), a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of her family. Marilyn was the devoted wife of Daniel “Danny” Barletto, with whom she shared a beautiful journey of love, laughter, and unwavering companionship.

She was the proud and loving mother of Michele Barletto Sweeney and Brigette Barletto Sansevero, and a treasured mother-in-law to Tommy Sweeney and Nick Sansevero. Her heart belonged to her beloved granddaughter, Nicole Sweeney, who brought her endless joy, pride, and purpose.

She retired after decades of outstanding service as a manager at JC Penney, where she left behind a legacy of excellence, kindness, and professionalism.

Known for her glistening blonde hair, radiant smile, and joyful spirit, Marilyn embraced life to the fullest.

She adored the family's beloved furbabies—Lukie, Chloe, and Luna—who brought laughter and companionship into her days.

Marilyn had an extraordinary ability to make people feel seen, valued, and loved. Her warmth, generosity, and vibrant presence touched all who knew her. She leaves behind a legacy of strength, compassion, and unconditional love.
