Marianne Gage, 88, of Mt. Upton, NY, a loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, passed away peacefully at home on August 6, 2025 after a long illness.

Marianne (Mommy) was born on Long Island in 1937 to Thomas and Alice Tibball. In 1954, she married the love of her life, Charles Gage with whom she recently celebrated 70 years of marriage. She was a local dairy farmer with her husband for many years until their retirement from farming in 1996. She also worked as a bus driver for many years at GMU and worked at Chenango Valley Home as a cook. After retirement, she worked in her garden and took care of her husband for many years.

Marianne (Mommy) was strong in her faith in God and regularly attended the Kingdom Hall meetings until her time of passing. She instilled many moral and ethical beliefs in her family that are ingrained in each one of us, such as hard work, good character, and helping those family and friends who needed it. She and her husband were foster parents for many years and helped so many kids through tough times. She loved the outdoors and enjoyed the many flowers she had planted throughout the yard. She also enjoyed cooking, trying all the latest recipes she found online.

Marianne is survived by her siblings, Thomas Tibball, Diane Clapp, and Joseph Tibball and his wife Pat, her sister in-laws Sue Heath and her husband Dennis (Butch) and Judy Hinman, her children Tom Gage and his wife Gretchen, Richard Gage and his wife Shelly, Theresa Doyle and her husband Joseph, Chuck Gage and his wife Karen, Todd Gage and his wife Dina, and foster son John Beauparlant and his wife Chrissy, grandchildren Elizabeth Scholl and her husband Nicholas, Samantha McWeeney, Jessica Gage, Joseph Doyle Jr. and his partner Sarah Spencer, Joshua Doyle and his wife Olivia, Tasha Doyle, Amanda Relf and her husband Mike, Chuck Gage and his wife Christine, Kori and Erica Gage, Ashley, Amanda, and Kaylee Beauparlant.
