Obituary for Rena Marcon Britt

Maria Pierrina “Rena” Marcon Britt, passed away on Sept. 9, 2017 after a brief illness.

Rena was born in Frassene di Fonzaso, province of Belluno, Italy, Sept. 17, 1920 – and arrived at Ellis Island in 1922 at the age of 2.

Rena was the oldest of six children of Angelo and Maria Sebben Marcon.

Rena attended Baypath College in Springfield, Mass. She retired from Marist College as an executive secretary for Dean Cox.

Rena married Jim Britt in May 1952 in Lakeville, CT. They settled in Poughkeepsie NY with their four children. Her husband Jim died on his 54th birthday in 1979.

Rena married Roy Dupilka shortly after her 80th birthday. She and Roy enjoyed 14 years together until Roy died in 2015, at age 99.

Rena will be remembered as a very kind and generous person, who was always in a good mood, with a ready smile and never thinking badly about anyone. And of course she made a jello torte that was worth fighting over!

Rena is survived by her children, Matthew, Jimmy, Mary Beth and Michael, her son-in-law Bruce Dors, daughters-in-law Laurie Mueller Britt and Cheri Sciacca; her grandchildren Peter, Chris, Katie Britt and her fiancée Michael Shaheen, Heather Rena Dors and her husband Jonathan Hoover, Brian Dors and his wife Rachel Dors, Nate and Jenny Britt, and her great-grandchild Arianna Rae Hoover.

Rena was predeceased by her husbands Jim Britt and Roy Dupilka, her grandchildren Joshua and Matthew Britt, her parents Maria Sebben and Angelo Marcon, her brothers Jackie and Peter Marcon, and her sister Tina Marcon.
