Mario Vicini

September 28, 1931 - May 24, 2020

Mario Vicini, beloved husband of the late Barbara Vicini, passed away on May 24th. He is survived by his daughters, Dolores Burgess (Rick), Gloria Russell (David); grandchildren Mark Burgess (Cara), Holly Ruh (Rob), Matthew Russell, Jordan Russell (Devin) and Brian Burgess and great grandson, Caleb Burgess.

Mario was born in San Marino to Ida and Marino Vicini. He will join his brothers, Tony, Paul and Piero and sister Anna in eternal life. As a child in San Marino, he witnessed the devastation of WWII by the Nazis and its liberation by the Americans. He immigrated to America in 1952, where he met the love of his life, Barbara. They were married for 60 years. Mario had a funny sense of humor; he will be remembered for giving silly nicknames to everyone he knew. He worked hard as a tile setter and taking care of his family was his top priority. Later in life, he loved cooking delicious food, gardening, feeding the birds and enjoying nature. 

Visitation for Mario will be held on Saturday, May 30th from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. at McCabe Funeral Home, 31950 W. 12 Mile Rd., Farmington Hills.

Memorial donations in Mario's name are appreciated to the Michigan Humane Society.
