Marijo was born in La Crosse, WI on May 31, 1941 and moved to Des Moines following her marriage to Vincent C. Scavo in August of 1962. The couple had 3 children. In addition to being a mother, Marijo’s professional career was as an X-ray technician. She enjoyed traveling with her friends from Wisconsin and her Southside pals. She traveled the world and was always planning her next adventure. Marijo spent time with her grandsons and enjoyed watching them grow up into fine young men.

Marijo was preceded in death by her parents Joseph and Josephine; brothers Ken, Jim, Paul, and Joe and her husband Vincent. She will be missed by her children, grandchildren, sisters-in-law, brother-in-law, numerous nieces and nephews and her many friends.

We would like to send a special thanks to those who helped care for Marijo these past years; the love and compassion held for Marijo was both heartfelt and appreciated. Also, thank you to all who supported our family through this difficult time.
