Marie T. Mirci (Shaw), 96 years old of Norwood, MA died peacefully in her sleep at her home on September 24, 2022. She was born to Gertrude (Cloonan) and Francis Shaw in Boston and grew up surrounded by a loving extended family in Dorchester. In 1955, Marie married Joseph Mirci, and in 1960, they moved to their new home in Norwood where they brought up their family and where they happily would spend the remainder of their lives.
Marie spent over 20 years with the New Haven Railroad, worked for a local contracting firm in Norwood, sold real estate for several years, and finished out her career with over a decade at Bank of Boston.
She was the eldest of five children, and is survived by her beloved siblings, brother Francis Shaw and his wife Annette, brother Robert Shaw, and her two sisters, Gertrude Tinney and Joan Monahan, as well as many wonderful nieces and nephews.
Marie was a devoted wife to husband, Joseph, who predeceased her in 1999 and whom she lovingly remembered and missed every day since. A loving mother and mother-in-law to daughters Jean Mekkaoui and her husband, Amine Mekkaoui, Karen Mirci and her husband, Roland Silverio, and Joanne Palilunas and Michael Palilunas (deceased) and Karen's ex-husband Barry Jennings.
She was also an exuberantly proud, involved and supportive grandmother to her six grandchildren who brought her so much joy: Nicholas and Robert Palilunas, Sumaya and Marielle Mekkaoui and Olivia and Christopher Jennings. All of whom she was crazy about and felt blessed to have visit her and “Papa Joe” almost every Sunday during their childhoods. Most recently, she was thrilled to meet the latest addition to her family, great-grandson Landon Palilunas, son of Nicholas Palilunas and Shirley He.
Marie was kind, loving, thoughtful, caring and unfailingly polite - a gentlewoman and a lady. She will be sorely missed, never forgotten, and will live on in a million little ways in the people who will miss her the most.
