Marilyn L. Costello, 87, of 3444 Fluvanna Townline Road, died Sunday March 24, 2024, in UPMC Chautauqua. Born February 19, 1937, in Jamestown, she was a daughter of the late Alton and Ruth Bratt Whiting. After many years as manager of Super Duper Deli Department, where she was well known for her catering of special events, she retired from Peterson Farms as a clerk.

She was a member of the Vikings. The family would like to thank Chautauqua County EMS and the UPMC staff of the Emergency Department and the 4th floor Comfort Care Unit for the exceptional care and concern they provided Marilyn.
