As a teen, she saw the Nazi occupation of Paris and worked in a munitions factory in town.

After relocating several times across New England, the two setteled in Fitchburg, where they made their home and long time established business at Marchetti’s a popular restaurant in the community.

Simone leaves her son Jacques, her granddaughter Sophia Marie Marchetti and three sisters in France.
