Jacqueline G. Viscido (Marinelli) Service Information

Jacqueline G. Viscido, of Newtown, PA formerly of South Orange, NJ, died on Monday, August 1, 2022, at The Birches at Newtown. She was 88.

She was the beloved wife of the late Vincent J. Viscido.

Born in Newark, NJ, she was the daughter of the late Louis and Minnie Pizzano Marinelli. Known to everyone as Jackie, she was a dedicated daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. 

She lived in South Orange, NJ for over 50 years where she also raised her children. She graduated from Columbia High School and worked as a Secretary. She was a devoted and active parishioner and Eucharistic Minister at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church in South Orange, where she was married to Vincent in 1966.

She loved traveling and cherished her family vacations.  She and Vincent enjoyed taking their children to the beach and to amusement parks, especially Disney World. She was thrilled to travel to Italy with her daughter, to visit her son in Seattle and North Carolina, and to visit her brother’s family in Florida.

Her great love of the shore drew her to Brick, NJ to semi-retire where she enjoyed reconnecting with lifelong friends and visiting the beach often. She delighted in attending concerts on the beach with her dear friends. She fulfilled a lifelong desire to be a teacher when she became a beloved CCD teacher at Visitation Church in Brick, where she taught 1st and 2nd graders for many years. Known to the children as “Mrs. V”, she cherished the opportunity to lead the children to Jesus and share her devotion to the Blessed Mother. Her students and their families stayed in touch with her for many years.

Upon the arrival of her 1st grandson, Colin, she retired and promptly moved out to Pennsylvania to be able to enjoy being a Grandmother. She was thrilled to welcome a 2nd grandson, Sean, a few years later and spent the rest of her days surrounded by the love of her family. 

Throughout the many challenges in her life, she had unwavering faith. She remained joyful, hopeful and always had complete trust in the Lord. She held on tightly to Our Blessed Mother’s hand and entrusted her family to St. Joseph to guard and protect them. She was the anchor of faith for her family and was always eager to share her love of her Catholic faith.  She was a lively conversationalist and touched the lives of everyone she met.

She is survived by her daughter Susan Moore and her husband Jeff of Holland and her son Steven Viscido of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She is also survived by her two grandsons Colin and Sean.
