Maureen Dorothea Carro

(April 6,1941 – June 1,2022)

In 1941, on Palm Sunday, a film "How Green Was My Valley" starring Actress Maureen O'Hara, was being watched by her parents at the theatre. During the film, her mother went into labor, and with her debeau that day, the name Maureen was chosen. Being born close to Easter, she received her nickname, 'Bunny', which she was best known for by friends and family

Thus, Maureen Dorothea Margiano was born April 6 ^th , 1941, in Queens, New York to George and Geraldine Margiano.

The oldest of four children, she had a sister Ginger, and two brothers: Douglas and Thomas. The four of them had happy memories, at their home, in South Ozone Park, Queens NY.

She was married to Angelo Carro, and they had four beautiful children together. The six of them lived on Long Island, NY and eventually moved to Maspeth, Queens NY where she was a devoted business partner to their Arrow Ice Company and Fish Haven store.

In 1979, Angelo and Bunny moved to Newcastle, Wy along with Nick and Debbie to help open the Pizza Barn Pizzeria. Kevin and Martha Carro, his wife, later joined them in Wyoming to help them with this venture. Bunny then pursued a different career shortly after; she began working for Kerr McGee – Jacobs Ranch Mine in the parts department, and then devoted her time to the Human Resources dept for a grand total of 20 plus years. After her retirement from Kerr McGee coal mine, she became a CNA for the Weston County Manor and one of their receptionists too. Her own mother Geraldine was a resident of the manor during her employment. And being nearby to her mother was something that brought her great joy.

Bunny's free time consisted of bingo with her friends, crossword puzzles, dice, and her 'favorite pastime' of cooking spaghetti on Sunday for her family. She also treasured her teatime with her granddaughters, getting to participate in all the girl talk. She was someone who made everyone, whether related or not, feel as though they could open up to her without judgement. And we all loved her for that.

Maureen (Bunny) Carro impacted us all in many ways with her wise counsel and our memory of her will live forever in the hearts of all she touched.

She leaves behind to cherish her legacy, four children: Angelo Jr., Kevin, Nick, & Debbie, three daughters-in-law: Martha, Maria, & Lisa and one son-in-law: Bob; her brother Thomas Margiano, eight grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren, and a host of nephews, nieces, other relatives, and many friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Ginger Evangelista, her brother Doug, and Angelo, her former husband and father of her children.
