Marianne Buchanan Stapleton

Marianne Buchanan Stapleton age 60 died unexpectedly on Sunday, August 28th, 2016. Marianne was predeceased by her sister Virginia Bezerra. She is survived by her devoted husband, John, her daughter, Jackie, and her granddaughter, Brianna Hope. She also leaves behind her sisters Barbara Keane and Janet Daly, and brothers Gavin and Robert Buchanan, and her many nieces, nephews and countless friends. Marianne embodied a grace, love and acceptance that we can only one-day hope to achieve. She had a smile and laugh that could be heard in the heavens above by her daughter, Chelsea Margaret, whom she was preceded by. The world lost a legend, a beautiful courageous woman who's love knows no bounds. To know Marianne was to love her, and to be loved by her your life was full and complete. Our lives are shattered by her loss and our hearts are going to ache without her for an eternity. I know that she is smiling down on us and saying "please don't cry, please don't argue" life is too short". She loved and gave with her whole self for she knew no other way, she embodied grace and kindness mixed with a raw Brooklyn sense of humor we could all only help to have. I was blessed beyond measure to call you mother, Brianna was blessed to call you Grammy and Daddy was blessed beyond measure to call you his wife, and Brianna was so very very blessed to call you Grammy. Yours and daddy are a classic love that we can all only wish to have. We all love you so much and we had so much more love to give you. Spread your wings mommy as I'm certain you were embraced by Chelsea immediately. You are at full peace now, no more daily heartbreak and although our hearts ache for you we are so happy for that you are joined again with Chelsea. That although you lived exactly the way you knew she would've wanted you to you are at full rest. You touched so many more lives and hearts then you ever knew. I love you Mommy Funeral services will be held Thursday September 1st, 2016 from 6-8 at Saint Rita's catholic church in Wellington, Funeral Mass will be Friday September 2nd at Saint Rita's at 11:30 am funeral procession to follow to Our Lady Queen of Peace Cemetery in Royal Palm Beach Florida.
