Marie Carroll Halachik Nunes passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones on February 28, 2023 at the age of 81.
Born in 1941 in Little Falls NJ, Marie was the daughter of the late Michael and Eva Halachik of Cedar Grove. She attended Passaic Valley High School and held a Bachelor of Arts from Boston University with a Master of Education from UMASS.
Marie was a lifelong career educator. She began her teaching career at Cedar Grove High School and later retired after more than forty-five year tenure as a SUNY Professor in Cobleskill NY. She inspired countless students to pursue their dreams and achieve their goals. She was a gifted educator who had a profound impact on the lives of those who were fortunate enough to learn from her. She was well known as "the hard grader" and held her students to very high educational standards.
She married Joseph Nunes in 1971 with whom she raised two sons, Eric and Jonathan. She was a devoted mother who instilled the importance of education, strong work ethic, integrity, kindness, and compassion in her children. Marie will be remembered for her unwavering kindness, gentle spirit, and generosity.
Marie is predeceased by her beloved brother Michael Halachik. She is survived by her husband Joseph, her two sons, Eric (Maria) of Cedar Grove, and Jonathan (Melissa) of Manhattan, and her two grandchildren (Gianna and Michael) whom she adored.
She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, former students and colleagues, but her memory will live on through the countless lives she touched during her time on this Earth as both a mother and an educator.

I loved Marie...she and Joe were close friends during our time in Cobleskill and we
continued to care for her and Joe long after we came back out to Oregon. I had, over recent years, found it a bit of a challenge to keep track of her! She was allusive but always remembered with great fondness...
RIP piece friend and know you are missed!
Lovingly,
Kay Merrill

My deepest condolences to family and friends. I lived with my family for 30 years, located across the street from Marie’s parents. 74 West Lindsley Road. I knew Michael and her parents. Many memories of being neighbors. Truly thought the world of Marie’s mother.
May Marie rest in the light of our Lord. Hold close of all the wonderful times shared. I was very young when I met Marie. 🙏🏻
