Marilyn J. Alaimo, 87, formerly of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away peacefully on October 3, 2023 at home with her family on Grand Island, NY under the care of Hospice Buffalo. Born in Niagara Falls, NY, she was the daughter of the late Catherine (Riggi) Scapucci.
Marilyn was a graduate of Niagara Falls High School. On September 14, 1957, she married Charles J. Alaimo at St. Joseph Church. Mr. Alaimo predeceased her on February 13, 2017.
