Marie (Kuechle) Marsilius, age 89 years of Easton, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, died Wednesday, May 7, 2008 at her home with her family.  Born on March 28, 1919 in Baltimore, Maryland, she was the daughter of Frederick and Katherine (Mueller) Kuechle. Married for the past 63 years to Newman M. Marsilius, Jr., she enjoyed a long, loving marriage and family life.  She resided for 31 years in Trumbull, moving to Easton in 1976, and kept a summer cottage, "Nana's Beach," in West Yarmouth, Massachusetts. Marie's love for life was only surpassed by the great love she held for her family. She treasured several things: many long enduring friendships, summers at the Cape, and a passion for sports. Her energetic spirit, loving kindness, and grace will be sorely missed. She is survived by her husband, Newman M. Marsilius Jr.; her sister and brother-in-law, Katherine and Claude Widerman of Gaithersburg, MD; her brother-in-law, Phillip R. Marsilius of Bridgeport, CT; her four children, Newman M Marsilius 111 of Newtown, CT, Diane Nicholls of Arlington, MA, Barbara Link of Rehoboth, MA, and Kathy Bourque of North Attleboro, MA; their spouses Sandra Marsilius, Robert Nicholls, and David Bourque; seven grandchildren Newman Marsilius IV, Christian Marsilius, William Barendse, Peter Barendse, Andrew Bourque, Dana Bourque, and Alexa Bourque; one great grandchild, Chase Newman Marsilius; and five nephews, James Powers, Norman Marsilius, Mark Widerman, Bradley Widerman, and Jeffrey Widerman. Friends may greet her family on Monday, May 12, 2008 from 4:00 – 7:00 pm at the Redgate-Hennessy Funeral Home, Main Street and Gorham Place, Trumbull, CT.
