Marjorie J. (Lema) Corazzini, age 85, of Taunton, passed away peacefully at home on September 9, 2025, after a brief illness, surrounded by her loving family.
Born and raised in East Taunton, she was the daughter of the late Frank A. Lema and Frances (Botelho) Lema. Marjorie spent much of her career working in sales, holding positions with Sears, Giant Weir RV, and Campers World. Following her retirement, she remained active, working part-time at Designer Warehouse in Lakeville. Marjorie cherished spending time with her family and friends. She enjoyed arts and crafts, traveling, dining out, and caring for her beloved cat, Ellie. A woman of deep faith, she was a communicant of Holy Family Church in East Taunton.
She is survived by her son, Steven Simmons of East Taunton; her granddaughter, Brittany, and great-grandson, Jacolby, both of Taunton. She also leaves behind her siblings: Frank Lema of Fall River, Mary Tavares of Pocasset, Lorraine Krueger of Davenport, FL, Lillian Rocha of Clermont, FL, Jimmy Lema of Sagamore Beach, David Lema of Clermont, FL, Richie Lema of Bridgewater, Danny Lema of East Taunton, Patricia Ferris of Blackstone, and Eddie “Fitzy” Lema of Taunton. She will also be remembered by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and her dearest friend, Alice Haley of Taunton. Marjorie was predeceased by her niece, Kristen Lema, and her nephew, Danny Lema.
In keeping with her wishes, there will be no funeral or graveside services. Family and friends are encouraged to celebrate Marjorie’s life and memory in their own personal way.
The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to her hospice nurse, Nikki, and the entire care team at Compassionate Care Hospice, whose dedication and kindness provided Marjorie with exceptional comfort and support.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Marjorie’s memory to Compassionate Care Hospice, 2 Lakeshore Center, Suite 110, Bridgewater, MA 02324.
