Obituary of Marie Sterchele

Marie (Buglio) Sterchele, 90, passed away peacefully at St. Martha's Center on July 25, 2022 in Downingtown, PA. Marie was born on May 1, 1932 in Vineland, NJ to the late Anna Orlandini and John Buglio. She graduated from Vineland High School in 1950. On June 28, 1958 she married James Sterchele, Sr. and had one child, James Sterchele, Jr. Marie enjoyed working at The Vineland Produce Auction in Vineland, NJ until the age of 70. The farmers at the Produce Auction were her extended family and she truly enjoyed the daily conversations with them. Marie was an active member of the Vineland Women's Club. She loved making and painting ceramics and giving as gifts in her younger years. She was also an avid reader of romance novels. She enjoyed watching mass on her television every day, which was only second to her voracious appetite for game shows. She enjoyed collecting angels, snowmen, and roosters which decorated her home throughout the years. Marie is survived by her son James and his wife Barbie; grandchildren, Joshua Sterchele, Ashley Sterchele, and Justin Sterchele (Sarah Mason - wife); sister Pauline Pace; nephew John Buglio III and niece, Lauren Buglio. The family would like to thank the staff at St. Martha's Center and Penn Medicine Hospice for all their efforts and care. A church visitation will be held on Saturday, July 30, 2022 from 10:30 am to 11:30 am followed by a funeral mass at 11:30 am at Saint Isidore the Farmer Church, 1655 Magnolia Road, Vineland, NJ 08361-6598.
