Virginian-Pilot May 20, 2026
Marguerite "Marge" "Margie" Carolyn Eck entered eternal life on May 13, 2026, at 
the age of 89 in Reston, Virginia. She was born on September 24, 1936, in 
Norfolk, Virginia to Vincent and Mary Picone. She graduated from Norfolk 
Catholic High School in 1954.
Marguerite devoted her life to her family, raising her three children with love 
and patience, and helping others. While living in Centreville, Virginia for over 
50 years, she was a devout and active member of St. Timothy's Catholic Church. 
She cherished spending time with her family and friends, praying the rosary, and 
volunteering at ManorCare Nursing Home, Fort Myer Thrift Shop, and other various 
community organizations. Marguerite enjoyed traveling, particularly to Alaska, 
Italy, and the Holy Land. She also loved visiting New York City to sightsee and 
attend plays. A dedicated and hard worker, she held positions at many places 
including Colonial Chevrolet, Chantilly High School, and Shoppers Food 
Warehouse.
Marguerite was preceded in death by her husband of 22 years, Billy Eck, and two 
of her siblings: Joseph and Paul Picone. Our mother is survived by her children: 
Mary "Kathy" Hankins, Phillip Eck (Leslie), and Jeffrey Eck. Marguerite adored 
being called Nana by her five beloved grandchildren: Benjamin, Kendall, Kathryn, 
Nina, and Rachel Hankins. Her surviving siblings are Robert Picone and Joanne 
Kubat. She also leaves behind two nieces, one nephew, one great-niece, three 
great-nephews and many cousins.
Marguerite lived her faith fervently and generously, and her absence will be 
felt by all who knew her gentle spirit.
Funeral services will be on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 11 a.m. at Christ the 
King Catholic Church located at 1803 Columbia Avenue, Norfolk, Virginia 23509. 
Graveside services will follow at St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery at 3000 Church 
Street, Norfolk, Virginia 23504. Condolences may be offered at www.hdoliver.com.
