Marylee E. Hanna, 48, of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away at her residence on January 25, 2023. Born in Niagara Falls, NY, she was the daughter of Margo Susan Fritton and the late Douglas Jeffrey Hanna.
Marylee worked as a bus driver in Florida and New York for 6 years, and loved her job, especially the kids she drove. She volunteered as a caregiver for her family and friends, and loved taking care of her dear friend Gracie Petrozzi. She enjoyed knitting, arts and crafts, and reading. She will be remembered most for her big heart, selflessness, her goofy nature, and her strength, overcoming many barriers in her life.
In addition to her mother, Marylee is survived by her children, Qualon Paul Hanna, Robert Wayne Preston, and Courtney Jean (Steven) Frye; her grandchildren, Sophia and Charles; her companion, Dennis Blankenship; her brother, Derrick (Jennifer) Fritton, her special nieces, Kirsten and Isabella Fritton, as well as several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.
Private visitation and funeral services were held for the family. If desired, memorial offerings may be made to Niagara Hospice, 4675 Sunset Drive, Lockport, NY 14094. Arrangements by M.J. Colucci & Son Niagara Funeral Chapel. Visit mjcoluccifuneralchapel.com for online condolences.
