Peter A. Marabella

Peter A. Marabella, 91, of Wyomissing, passed away on Tuesday, January 10, 2023, in the care of Willow Brook Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center. He was the loving husband of Dorothy H. (Vilardo) Marabella, with whom he shared a marriage of 70 years.

Born in Reading to the late John and Lena (Sfameni) Marabella, Peter attended Reading High School. He was a hard worker who dedicated over 35 years to the Dick Horrigan Porshe, Audi, and Subaru dealership of Reading. He retired as General Manager.

Peter was a member of St. Ignatius Loyola Church of Whitfield. He was a 3rd degree member of the Knights of Columbus.

A loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, Peter will be greatly missed. He was a passionate "Phanatic" for Philadelphia sports, especially for the Eagles, who he was delighted to see win Superbowl LII. Peter also enjoyed golf, car racing, and bowling.
