Marie F. Gherardi, 83, of Hibbing, passed away peacefully on Oct. 8, 2014, with family by her side.
She was born the daughter of Emilio and Righetta (Taramelli) Rolle on Nov. 9, 1930, in Chisholm.
On April 11, 1953, she married Harry (Jerry) Gherardi at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Chisholm. They made their home in Hibbing, and together celebrated 60 years of marriage until his passing on Jan. 16, 2014. Although Marie lived most of her life in Hibbing, she always remained a Chisholm girl at heart.
She graduated from Chisholm High School in 1948, after which she attended Duluth Business University for two years. It was in Duluth where she met her future husband Harry Gherardi. She worked as a secretary for Aetna Life Insurance in Duluth until her marriage, and then after most of her six children were grown and raised, she went to work at the Mesaba Clinic in Hibbing as an insurance clerk. She retired from there after 20 years.
She was a member of Blessed Sacrament Parish, the Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary, the Fairview Auxiliary, and the Italian American Club.
She will be remembered for her beautiful smile, sweet nature, and loving kindness, along with her love of polka music, cooking, and all things Italian.
She is survived by her five children: daughter, Vickie (John) Drechsler of Loveland, Colo., daughter, Jeriann (Fabian) Danich of Hibbing, daughter, Karen (Brett) Grinde of Pine City, Minn., son, Richard (Lori) of Orono, Minn., and son, Paul (Mandy) of Hibbing; her grandchildren: Lynsey (Josh) Barnes, Brittany (Eric) Larson, Jared, Nick, Jake, Maria, Julia and Gino Gherardi; great-grandson, Grayson Barnes; brother-in-law, Frank Infelise of Duluth; sister-in-law, Jan Rolle of Grand Rapids; and many loving nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Harry (Jerry) Gherardi in January of this year; daughter, Lynn Gherardi in 1980; infant grandchildren, Rachel and Angelo Gherardi; her parents, Emilio and Righetta Rolle; her sister, Jeanadair (Jeana) Infelise; and her brother, Ronald Rolle.
