Villamarzo Lopez, Mario E., a 33-year, World War II U.S. Army veteran
and father of four died on Tuesday, Jan. 4, 2005.
A resident of Sierra Vista, Ariz., for the past eight years, he was born
in the family home in Ponce, Puerto Rico, on Jan. 24, 1916. One of 10 children
of a Spanish immigrant, father Jose Villamarzo Lledin, and a Puerto Rican
mother, America Lopez Pagan, he was 88 years old. He died at home with his
eldest daughter, Gloria.
Mario's long life included many accomplishments, but the one he was most
proud of was his marriage to el amor de mis amores - the love of his life,
his friend, lover and partner for 62 years. On April 26, 1941, he married
this young woman, a daughter of an evangelical preacher, Gloria J. Robles,
who preceded him in death in May 2004. Of this union they had three children. |
In the beginning of his long Army career he served with the Puerto Rico Army
National Guard in the early 1940s. Later, during World War II as a member
of the 65th Infantry Regiment he served in North Africa, France and ultimately
in Germany as part of the Army of Occupation.
After the war he served at various posts in the Panama Canal Zone, the
Continental United States and in West Germany where he served with the fledgling
111th MI Group. Capt. Mario E. Villamarzo retired in January 1971.
Mario was an avid baseball enthusiast and an expert crossword puzzle fanatic.
He delighted in the view of the Sierra of the Huachucas and the clear blue
Arizona sky in the morning and its starlit nights.
His survivors include two sisters, Maria T. Villamarzo of Paterson, N.J.,
and Josefina N. Ballesteros of Ponce, Puerto Rico; his three daughters, Gloria
A. V. Dueltgen (David) of Sierra Vista, Manuela Haag (Joachim) of Öwingen,
Germany, and Ileana E.V. Vermilyea (Stanley) of Westerville, Ohio; and a
son, Mario E. Villamarzo (Yvonne Shattuck) of Lawrenceville, Ga. Also among
his survivors are seven grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and numerous
nieces and nephews.
