RHINEBECK, N.Y. — Marlene Guercio, 75, of Rhinebeck, died Oct. 19.
She is survived by sisters, Clara Cobey, and Grace Coratti.
Her sister, Rose Germano; and brothers, Joseph, Benny, Frank and John, predeceased her.
She was born Oct. 12, 1941.
She enjoyed her work experience starting in her sister-in-law's (Helen Jean) Appeal Briefs Publishing office in Detroit.
