Marion M. Wesoly, passed away on Thursday, Jan. 3, 2013 at the age of 78.

She was born to the late Stanley and Julia Schultz on Jan. 21, 1934, in New Hyde Park, graduating from Sewanhaka High School in 1951. She married Paul J. Wesoly in 1953 and they lived together in their primary residence in New Hyde Park and spent their summers in their vacation home in Noyack, NY.

A passionate antique and doll collector, Wesoly specifically collected  Madame Alexander dolls and was a member of the Madame Alexander Doll Club. She was also an active member of St. Hedwig’s Roman Catholic Church and the Rosary Altar Society.
