Obituary of Janet Marino

Janet Cook Marino, age 88, of Shelton, beloved wife of the late James V. Marino, Jr., passed away in her home on Wednesday, December 22, 2021, with her daughters by her side. Born on October 16, 1933, in Bridgeport, she was a daughter of the late John and Lucille Carbone Cook.

Janet was a graduate of Harding High School and grew up in Bridgeport and was formally a longtime resident of Trumbull before moving to Shelton. She worked for Park City Hospital as a keypunch operator. After retirement she enjoyed working part time at Daybreak Flower Shop in Westport. She was on the Harding High School Reunion Committee and a member of the St. Catherine of Siena Ladies Guild, where she served as President (1975-1976). Janet was an excellent cook and loved nothing more than entertaining and cooking for her family and friends. There was always room for one more at the table. She was quick to smile and was happiest when surrounded by her family. She will be greatly missed by all that were lucky enough to know her.

Survivors include two daughters, Joy Marino and her husband Robert Sardaro of Trumbull and Jill Marino and her husband Michael Shandrowski of Stratford, two adored grandchildren Skylar and James Shandrowski of whom she was very proud of, two sisters, Rosalie Pauciello of Bridgeport, and Lynda Cook-Lawrence of Trumbull, as well as several nieces and nephews that she loved dearly.
