Obituary of Christine A. Mariano

Christine A. Mariano, 59, of Kingston, MA was born in Brooklyn, NY to Blanche Morgan and James Alioto on July 15, 1961 and passed away on December 22, 2020 in Boston, MA.

Christine is survived by her loving husband, Michael J. Mariano of Kingston, her 3 loving daughters; Tracy Ann Sawtelle of Kingston, Jacqueline Marie O’Brien of Weymouth and Jennifer Marie Sawtelle of Florida, her 3 step children; Christine Mariano Dray, Michael Mariano and Dawn Sesock, her Mother Blanche Morgan, her 4 siblings; Louis Alioto, Linda Alioto Robinson, James Alioto and Gary Alioto, her 3 grandchildren (who knew her as “Mim”); Torianna Spry, Liam O’Brien and Stella O’Brien, her 3 nieces; Lucia Robinson, Sarah Alioto, Samantha Alioto and nephew; Anthony Alioto, as well as her 2 son-in-laws; Anthony Kearney and Kevin O’Brien and lastly by her 4 dogs; Luna, Cashmere, Beastly and Wolfie. She is preceded in death by her Father, James Alioto of New York and her Step-Father, Leroy Morgan of Plymouth.

Christine was the best of the best in all her roles (Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister, “Mim”, Friend and Animal lover). She will be remembered for the unconditional love she showed in abundance, her forgiveness she never withheld and her unbelievable giving nature even in spite of personal sacrifice.  

Christine will be missed more then words can described. Her family encourages you to find her in the things she loved; her warmth in the summer sun, her peace when becoming one with the ocean, her beauty in a garden of flowers and the [her] love put into a home cooked meal for family.
