Rooney, Marie Found Eternal Peace surrounded by family and friends on September 10, 2011, at the age of 60. Loving wife and companion of 44 years to Steven. Loving mother of Kelly (Aaron) Silverman and dear Nana of Zella Rose. Cherished daughter of Marie Mandella. Dear sister of Paul (Kathy) and Anthony (Laura) Mandella. Further survived by her nephews, Paul, Nicholas, Anthony and Vincent. Deeply missed by aunts, uncles, cousins and many, many close friends.
