Anyone with strong ties to Sea Isle City more than likely knows about the devastating fire that took place on 54th Street on November 29, which took the life of Marie Zielinski.
In addition to being the matriarch of the Corso family (a very well-known local clan), Marie was also a beloved member of this community and was a supporter of several local civic organizations, including AARP, the Catholic Daughters and the Sea Isle City Garden Club -- groups that will greatly miss her gracious presence.
It goes without saying that Marie’s daughter Nina, sons Joe and Christopher, grandchildren, extended family and her many friends, have our deepest sympathy.
When I visited with Marie’s family shortly after the fire, they expressed their gratitude for the tremendous amount of support they have been receiving from our community during this very sad and difficult time.
As mayor of Sea Isle City, I am extremely proud of our residents for coming together to shower love and kindness on the Corso family and all those involved, and I feel more blessed than ever to call Sea Isle my home. There truly is no other place I would rather live than here.
