August 24, 1947 - February 23, 2024
It is with great sadness that the family of Samuel (Sam) Marrazzo announces his sudden passing on Friday, February 23, 2024, at the age of 76.
Sam will be remembered by his loving wife of 54 years, Margaret Marrazzo (Scott), daughter Mary Marrazzo Saltzman and her husband, Josh; and his loving granddaughters, Samantha Christine and Mary Catherine. He is also survived by his brother Joseph Marrazzo and his family.
Sam was preceded in death by his parents and business partners Mary and Donald Marrazzo.
Sam was a graduate of Pennsbury High School and upon graduation immediately became involved in the family business at Marrazzo’s Quality Food Market on South Broad Street in Trenton, N.J. He had an innate entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen which enabled him to expand his business ventures after the retirement of his parents. Initially he expanded the business to Robbinsville, NJ and then to Marrazzo’s Market in Ewing, N.J.He was widely recognized and respected in the business world. He sat on the board of Yardville Bank and First Trust Bank in addition to the board of the Retail Marketing Group (RMG).
One of his greatest pleasures was greeting his customers each day. They became his friends, and he took a very personal interest in each and every one of their stories. Everyone was aware of his high personal and professional standards. He always believed his customers deserved the best of himself and his employees. He truly was “Marrazzo’s Market”.
Thank you to all of his employees over the last 58 years. Always remember, "If there is time to lean, there is time to clean."
Sam did not want a funeral. Instead, he wanted everyone who knew him to remember their conversations, laughter and good times.
Arrangements are under the direction of the Buklad-Merlino Memorial Homes, Hamilton.
Donations in Sam’s memory can be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital or to the charity of your choice.
