Marsha Dragonetti (nee
Goron) peacefully passed away at home at the age of 76 on December 1st, 2019.
Marsha was born on April 12th, 1943, the daughter of Joseph Goron and Rose Bolek
Goron. After graduating from Mundelein College in 1963 Marsha joined the Peace
Corps as an ESL teacher and was stationed in Turkey where she met Giuseppe
Dragonetti, her surviving husband of over 50 years. Marsha taught Spanish and
ESL at Chicago's Bowen High School for 10 years before becoming a Spanish
teacher at the Latin School of Chicago for over 30 years until her retirement in
2017 as Foreign Language Department Chair. Marsha was a beloved wife, mother,
grandmother, sister, aunt, niece, friend, educator, and lifelong White Sox fan
who enjoyed a Sox victory as much as a Cubs loss. Marsha requested immediate
cremation and in lieu of a service a celebration of life is scheduled for later
this month.
