Sue was born on March 8, 1928 to Sam and Mary Fazio. After graduating from Lincoln High School, she met her future husband, Michael J. Marasco, who worked side by side with his father, Sam, in the family business, Supreme Baking Company. Later, he was co-owner of Marasco’s Shopping Center.
Mike and Sue branched out on their own in 1958, and Michael’s Restaurant & Lounge was opened. They owned and operated Michael’s for 35 years.
Susan loved to bake, cook, crochet and share her creations with family and friends. She especially loved to reminisce when her grandsons, who she lovingly called “my boys”, would wait around the kitchen table for the warm tarallis coming out of the oven.

Also surviving is a son, Michael, and his children Andrea and Chris Marasco.
Preceded in death by her husband, Michael; parents, Sam and Mary Fazio; brothers, Sam and Ed Fazio; and sister, Evelyn Caligiuri.

I had the pleasure of meeting Sue and her daughters through my dear friend, Chris (Sue's daughter) Sagenbrecht, several years ago. All I can say is that your mother was blessed to have such loving and caring daughters! I know you girls have been working hard to make your mom's life comfortable. You will never regret all the time spent and tears you shared these past few months. Moms are one of a kind. Thank God for all the memories to reminisce for all time.
