Obituary
Susan Marie Sargenti, a lifelong resident of Salinas, passed away unexpectedly on July 13, 2023, at the age of 75. Known as Sue by most, Sue was born on March 9, 1948, to Stan and Margaret Morisoli in Salinas. Sue will always be remembered as a gracious host, organizer, and dedicated volunteer.
Sue attended elementary school at Sacred Heart School and graduated from Salinas High School. She had a fulfilling career at Ticor Title Insurance, Seed Co, and the Monterey County Schools Insurance Group (MCSIG). However, her most cherished role was that of a loving wife, mother, and Nana to her family. She supported them wholeheartedly, creating lasting memories through camping, houseboat, and skiing trips, attending sporting events, and hosting the annual holiday cookie extravaganza.
Passionate about giving back to her community, Sue actively participated in various service organizations, including Marriage Encounter, Boy Scouts of America, Italian Catholic Federation, Madonna del Sasso School, and Palma School. She dedicated her time and energy to volunteering and fundraising for their causes. Additionally, Sue served as a dedicated class leader for the Salinas High class of 1966, hosting numerous gatherings and reunions.
Sue is survived by her loving siblings, Jim (Debbie) Morisoli and Jo (Rose) Morisoli. She met her high school sweetheart and husband, John, in 1965, and they recently celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary. Sue leaves behind two sons, Edwin (Lupe) Sargenti and David (Stacy) Sargenti; as well as five grandchildren: Bella, Brayden, Corrine, Owen, and Elsie. She was preceded in death by her father, mother, and grandson, Cole Sargenti.
