Mr. Frank A. Marabello, age 93, of Roosevelt Drive, Bristol, died Friday, July 27, 2018, at his home, surrounded by his loving wife of 70 years and family. He was the husband of Pauline J. (Aguar) Marabello.

Born in Bristol and a lifelong resident, he was a son of the late Anthony and Mary (Mansi) Marabello. Frank was a graduate of Colt Memorial High School, Class of 1943.

He was a customer service manager for the former Bristol Manufacturing Company, working there for 24 years, retiring in 1981. He previously worked for the American Tourister Company, formerly in Warren, for several years.

Mr. Marabello served on the Bristol Town Council from Nov. 29, 1966, through Nov. 19, 1970, two full terms. This was a period of change in the Town of Bristol. During his tenure and the leadership of the Councils he served on, the Town Hall moved from the Burnside Building into its present location, and the town’s current governmental structure (Home Rule Charter with a Town Administrator) was conceived.

The “new” Bristol High School graduated its first class, Roger Williams then-College came to Town, and Colt State Park opened up.

He was a communicant of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Bristol, loved bowling and played in various leagues at Dudek’s Lanes in Warren, lastly in the Senior League. He was also an avid golfer.

He is survived in addition to his wife, by three children, Steven P. Marabello of Warren, and Carl Marabello (Marie) and Paula Nutini (Robert), both of Bristol; six grandchildren, Gina Miller (Donald), Steven Marabello, Jr., Carl Marabello, Jr. (Kristen), Anthony J. Marabello, Adam A. Palumbo and Jessica Rogers; and seven great-grandchildren, Mya, Malia, Marcus, Maxton, Michael, Marrison and Kyleb.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded by his siblings, Gaetano and Anthony Marabello, Caroline Cook and Mary Ann Almeida.
