Marie (Simko) Nolan

Ethel “Marie” Nolan, age 88, of Morrisville, PA, passed away peacefully on Monday, December 3, 2018 at the home of her daughter in Levittown, surrounded by her loving family.  Born in Trenton, Marie had lived in Morrisville for the past 58 years.

Marie was active all of her 88 years. She led a life devoted to our Lord and her family.  As a parishioner at Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church in Morrisville, Marie happily volunteered at the rectory, the school, and also served many years as secretary of the Holy Trinity Seniors, now known as “The Lunch Bunch”.   Marie was also active at the Morrisville Senior Center, the Artisan’s Club of Philadelphia, and held various positions at the Morrisville American Legion Auxiliary. Among her varied interests were baking cookies, bingo, and reading.  She was also an avid canasta player.  Her greatest pleasures came from spending time with her friends and her family. Mom Mom always made time for her grandchildren passing on her baking and card playing skills. As a proud Great Grandma Mom Mom loved entertaining the newest members of the family.

Daughter of the late Joseph and Anna (Varga) Simko, wife of the late Francis H. Nolan, and mother of the late David Joseph Bitler and Susan Ann Evans.
