Puerini Foundation A true caretaker her entire life, Marie Martha Puerini raised four children in Providence, Rhode Island during the 1950s and 1960s while also maintaining a successful career running Medical Personnel Pool, a national nursing service that provided nurses to hospitals, nursing homes and private clients. After her career at Medical Pool, Marie and her youngest son, Danny, opened Puerini’s Restaurant in Newport in 1982, and Marie graciously welcomed residents and visitors of Newport into Puerini’s for a homemade Italian meal. An extremely energetic and intelligent woman, Marie enjoyed a rich life beyond her careers at Medical Pool and Puerini’s Restaurant. Marie traveled the world and regularly attended the Kentucky Derby with her partner John Finney, she was known for her opinionated letters to the Newport Daily News, and she was a talented cook and baker – always making friends and family feel loved with her pans of lasagna and famous apple pies. Marie was also an avid gardener and enjoyed other hobbies such as reading and crocheting, and she spent many years serving her community by volunteering at the Newport Music Festival, Newport Hospital, and the Newport Visitor’s Center. Marie spent her later years looking after her grandchildren and running Almy Cottage Bed and Breakfast where she welcomed visitors into her own home. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fdd410fdbe48138a38e6755/t/6060e9a75028242269177f97/1618754639723/donorbox-logo-3bd176e9416b5a4fe073762cd5371b54b6fd1b0241f44fecf880c23c17c38e3c.png Home https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fdd410fdbe48138a38e6755/t/607c3f22e24f453c1b7052e0/1618755485906/MMPFoundation_Logo+v6.png Home https://www.mmpfoundation.com/raffle-entry daily 0.75 2021-04-18
