Mary Jo Marchman March 18, 1925 – October 1, 2012 Resident of Sunnyvale Mary Jo Marchman (Mary Josephine Singosky) was born March 18, 1925 and passed away on October 1, 2012. She was a long-time resident of Palo Alto and Sunnyvale. Born in Roscoe, PA, she moved to Pittsburgh where she met her husband, Henry (Hank) Marchman. Hank and Mary Jo came west in 1959 with their young family before anyone had heard of “Silicon Valley” and when orchards were commonplace. After losing her husband, Mary Jo faced the challenges of being a single mother of two children. She became a manager in the electronics industry at a time when few women held such positions, and was active in the Business and Professional Women’s club. She displayed a keen wit, unyielding dedication, and passionate drive that will remain a source of inspiration for many years. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, friend and colleague, who will be especially missed when the cherry trees are in bloom or when the Giants are playing baseball. She is survived by daughters Mary Claudia Marchman and Virginia Ann Marchman, son-in-law Craig Salling, grandchildren Erica and Alexander, sister-in-law Sara Singosky, nieces Diane, Joyce, Donna, nephew Thomas, and 5 grand-nieces and nephews.
