After a brave battle, Marie Elaine Holley Berlingeri entered into her eternal reward peacefully, in the presence of her loving husband, on November 1, 2022. A loving wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, cousin, and best friend, she is survived by her husband of 46 years, Robert Berlingeri, Sr.; daughter, Victoria Clark and husband, Evans; son, Robert, Jr. and wife, Brandi; daughter, Amanda Chancellor and husband, Rodney; nine very loved grandchildren, Alayna Marie Clark, Robert III, Maliyah, Lukas, Paisley, and Victoria Berlingeri, and Lily, Rodney Jr., and Thomas Chancellor. She is also survived by three sisters, Norma, Patti, and Kathy; and one brother, Richie.
Marie was preceded in death by her mother, Victoria Holley; father, Leonard Holley; stepmother, Peggy Holley; and sister, Lori Talbert.
Marie dedicated her time to those she loved, inside and out, of her family, having spread that love through 22 years of outreach, with Sgt. Santa, of Richmond, before his passing. Always wearing a smile on her face and a hug in her heart, she went above and beyond with her devotion to the cause, and her love for those who needed a light in the darkest times. Marie was that light to so many in her time here with us.
Although our hearts ache from this loss, we know that we will join her again, with the Lord, when our time comes. Marie's love, friendship, and presence will not be forgotten. She touched hearts with so many, that made a lasting impression. An imprint of love that cannot be erased.
The family will receive friends from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., on Sunday, November 6, 2022, at the Chester Chapel of J.T. Morriss & Son Funeral Home. A funeral service will be held at 1:00 p.m., on Monday, November 7, 2022, at the funeral home, with interment to follow at Sunset Memorial Park. Condolences may be registered at
