Anne-Marie Marinaccio, 84, of Bridgewater, New Jersey, passed away on December 17, 2025, at her home at Laurel Circle Assisted Living in Bridgewater.

Born on October 3, 1941, in Newark, New Jersey, Anne-Marie was the beloved daughter of the late Joseph and Josephine (Falcone) Falcone. She grew up in Newark and graduated from Good Counsel High School. After meeting and marrying the love of her life, Joseph Marinaccio, Anne-Marie devoted herself wholeheartedly to their life together. The couple spent nine years in Coral Springs, Florida for Joseph’s work, but the pull of family and home eventually brought them back to New Jersey, where they settled in Bridgewater and remained.

Anne-Marie was proud of her professional career and was known for her reliability, warmth, and exceptional organizational ability. She worked as an executive assistant for a number of companies over the years, most notably ADP and Hoffmann-La Roche, where she was valued for her dedication and professionalism.

A faithful and devoted Catholic, Anne-Marie was an active member of Blessed Sacrament Roman Catholic Church in Martinsville, New Jersey. She also enjoyed traveling with her husband, entertaining others, and she was widely known as an excellent cook who took great joy in welcoming people with a good meal and a gracious home.

Anne-Marie was predeceased by her beloved husband, Joseph Marinaccio (2008), and by her parents, Joseph and Josephine Falcone. She is survived by her brother, Alan Falcone, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as well as her cousins and many loving friends who will miss her dearly.
