Christine Louise Marchetta
June 8, 1948 ~ May 16, 2016
Christine Louise Literski Marchetta passed away the evening of Monday, May 16th 2016 in her home, with family by her side. Christine was born on June 8th 1948 in Stevens Point, Wisconsin to Eugene Edmund Literski and Dorothy Christine Nowicki Literski. She grew up in Whitesboro, New York and graduated from Whitesboro Central High School. Chris met Anthony Joseph Marchetta, her husband of 47 years, on July 9th 1967 at Hinckley Lake, New York and the two were married on June 7th 1969. Chris and AJ welcomed their beautiful daughter, Heather Elisabeth, into the world in January of 1970. In August of 1974, Chris graduated Cum Laude from the University of Wisconsin/Madison, where she earned her BA in Psychology. Christine will be remembered fondly for her dedication to the many 4th and 5th grade students she taught as a math and science teacher, and her commitment to these young scholars was recognized with a Teacher of the Year award in Atlanta, Georgia and a Teacher of the Month award in Richardson, Texas. She was an avid reader, tireless walker, made quick work of crossword puzzles, and enjoyed traveling. Christine was an inspiration to those who knew her, and will be remembered for her grace, courage, kindness and generosity. She led a full and remarkable life as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, teacher, and friend.
Preceded in death by her parents, Christine is survived by her husband, AJ Marchetta, daughter, Heather Marchetta, son-in-law and kitchen partner, Jonathan Turner, cherished grand-daughter, Emma Marchetta Turner, younger brother, Thomas Literski (Barbara Charlton), brother-in-law, Donald Marchetta (Jody Mahaffey), sister-in-law, Constance Marchetta Ryan (Kenneth), her nieces and nephews; Michael Marchetta, and Jenna Marchetta, Brian Literski and Jana Literski Cooper, as well as her extended family, friends, and treasured students.

Yelp Review-Northwest Highway
5 stars
I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had.

I taught with Christine at Hightower Elementary. She was an outstanding teacher, dedicated to her students and always helpful to her co-workers. She will be greatly missed and remembered by the many lives she touched. May God grant her family the peace that Christine would want for them
