Marjorie Costello, an extraordinarily devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend who embraced life with faith, generosity and love passed away Monday, February 7 at home. She was the loving wife of Dennis Costello, with whom she recently celebrated 50 years of marriage. She was the daughter of the late Albert and Catherine Curtis, and the sister of Thomas Craine and the late William Craine.

She will also be dearly missed by her four grandchildren, who affectionately called her Gram – Annie Catherine, and Seamus Lenihan and Cooper and Griffin LaBranche. A graduate of Mount St. Joseph College, Marjorie spent most of her career sharing her imagination and love of learning as an elementary teacher in the Westerly School Department. Marjorie was a person of deep religious faith, who believed happiness was about sharing life with people you liked and respected. She lived in the moment and surrounded herself with friends and family. She was a long time communicant of St. James Chapel, and a member of the Green Hill Beach Club. The essence of Marjorie centered on integrity, trustworthiness and honesty. She loved, and was loved by many, and will be deeply missed.
