Philomena Marian (Verrecchio) Macri, “Mena”—loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend—passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at the age of 93.
Born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on March 18, 1932, Mena was the daughter of John and Edith (Galdino) Verrecchio. She graduated from Harrisburg Catholic High School in 1950, where she met the love of her life, Vito Antonio “Tony” Macri, her husband of 72 years.
After high school, Mena devoted herself to caring for their four young children before beginning a distinguished 30‑plus‑year career with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, House of Representatives, ultimately serving as office manager for the Speaker of the House.
Mena was preceded in death by her husband Tony. She is survived by their four children, Catherine Waddington (William), Linda Reese, Joseph Macri (Dolores), and Christine Cosentino (Arturo); as well as seven grandchildren and five great‑grandchildren.
Throughout their years together, Mena and Tony cherished time spent with family and friends and enjoyed traveling the world by air and cruise ship. In her spare time, Mena found joy in sewing, knitting, doll making, beading, quilting, and shopping.
