Frank's obituary
Frank had a very big heart, he was very loving and had a very beautiful soul. He never liked conflict and helped a lot of people whether family or not. Frank James Marinella, 79, of Delran died of liver failure due to having pancreatic cancer on October 6th, 2024 around 1:30 pm. He was born in Mt. Holly New Jersey in 1945 to John and Mary Marinella. He loved collecting Lionel trains, and Coca-Cola items as well as going on trips to Mexico and Disney. Frank attended Rancocas Valley High School and pursued a life long career in General Electric, Lockheed Martin, and RCA. He was loved by all his co-workers as wellas his best friend Ron Connard.
Frank and the love of his life, Linda Marinella in 1967, met at Frank’s family billiard shop. They moved into their new house and started a family, getting married 1968. Frank and Linda couldn’t wait to start a family of their own. Their children, Melissa and Frankie Marinella meant the world to them. Though he loved his work, he eventually retired and began the role of grandfather. He treasured his time with his grandchildren, Orion Marinella and Jeremiah Loringer and loved being their Poppop. He never failed to make them laugh being such a kind hearted person. He loved playing games on the Nintendo Wii with his grandson, Orion and playing trains and games with Jeremiah.
Frank had a soft spot for our furry friends treating each one like family, especially his beloved pet Lady Diamond Monroe who Linda and Frank met across the rainbow bridge upon their passing.
He was also preceded by his parents John and Mary Marinella, his siblings John, Rocky, Rose, Dorethy, Mary, Ann and Florence.
His Celebration Of Life will be announced at a later date.
