Marva J. Cerullo
April 14, 1941 — March 3, 2024
Marva J. Cerullo, RN, of Wapwallopen, Pennsylvania passed away peacefully with family by her side on Sunday, March 3, 2024, at Lehigh Valley Hazleton Campus at 82 years of age.
Born Monday, April 14, 1941, she was the daughter of the late Marvin and Eliza (Hanley) Pollard. Marva was also predeceased by her siblings, Judy Mazeikas and Frank Pollard and her husband, Frank Cerullo.
Surviving are her two daughters, Lisa M. Perla and her partner Eric Henger with whom she resided, and Kimberly M. Derr and her husband Paul “Gus” Derr. Also surviving are her beloved grandsons; David Kitchen, and Dalton Perla.
A graduate of Mount Carmel High School, Marva earned her Registered Nursing certification from the Geisinger School of Nursing. After graduating she began a family and maintained a long distinguished career eventually retiring as the medical director of S.C.I. Mahanoy Prison, after previously serving as Vice President of the Berwick Hospital.
She took much pride in seeing the accomplishments of those that she loved and mentored. Even throughout her own successful career, she was in attendance to every one of her grandson’s sporting events as well as supporting her daughter Lisa in following in her footsteps as a nurse.
Being a devoted caregiver even after retirement, “Nan” as she was affectionately referred to as, enjoyed taking care of her dog, Mahoney, and nurturing her many flowers that filled her home. In times of good health and good weather she could often be found walking down her lane of her beloved country home.
A celebration of Marva’s life will be announced by the family.
