Marianne C. Paris, age 75, passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset in Somerville, New Jersey.

Born in Plainfield, New Jersey, Marianne was raised in North Plainfield before returning to Plainfield. She later moved to Bound Brook, New Jersey, where she remained a resident for 49 years. A proud graduate of North Plainfield High School, she entered the workforce shortly after graduation, beginning her career with Allstate Insurance Company in Murray Hill.

In the years that followed, Marianne devoted herself to creating a warm and loving home. She embraced her role as a homemaker with pride and dedication. Later, she returned to the workforce as a sales clerk at Stearns Department Store in the Bridgewater Commons Mall, where she enjoyed meeting people and assisting customers with her friendly and approachable manner.

Raised in the Catholic faith, Marianne attended Saint Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church in North Plainfield when she was able, and her faith remained a quiet part of her life.

Marianne had a love for travel and especially cherished the time spent with her beloved husband at their home in Miami Beach, Florida. Those years together created memories that she treasured deeply.

She was predeceased by her loving husband, Joseph J. Paris, Jr., who passed away in 2025.

Marianne is survived by her brother, Paul Ford and his wife Patty; her brother, Albert Ford Jr.; and her sister-in-law, Suzette Faig and her husband Paul. Marianne lived life on her own terms and will be remembered by her family and those who shared in her journey.
