Memories of Marie

submitted by Andrea Cannito

Marie Helen Sayban (Martorana), 102, Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church, December 5, 2021. Dearest daughter of the late Antonio and Alphonsa (Cacciatore) Martorana; beloved wife of the late Andrew Sayban; loving mother of Nancy (Mike) Cannito; dear grandmother of Tony and Andrea Cannito; and cherished sister of the late Angelina, Gus and Joe Martorana. Born and raised on The Hill, Marie never strayed far from her Sicilian upbringing—always praying to the Blessed Mother and cooking in la cucina. A firecracker she was for her entire life, Marie would often recount her many joy-filled nights on the dance floor at the Casa Loma Ballroom. More than that, Marie was a loving mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, and friend to the many that had the pleasure of knowing her in her long life.
