CALCAGNI, MARIAN DAVIS, 86, of Ocala, Fla., died peacefully April 1 at Legacy House, following a brief illness. She was the widow of Frank R. Calcagni, who passed away May 27, 2008. Born Aug. 5, 1927, in Barre, Calcagni was the daughter of the Hon. Deane Chandler Davis, former governor of Vermont, and Corrine Eastman Davis. She was a graduate of Spaulding High School in Barre, and Boston University. A devoted homemaker and accomplished pianist, Calcagni shared her joy of music with young people over many years as a piano teacher. With her husband of 58 years, she relocated from Vermont to Ocala to assume ownership of the Little Professor Bookstore. Calcagni enthusiastically assisted all who needed her help, especially those who were ill or less fortunate. Always ready with a warm smile and kind heart, she frequently played the piano and sang for residents at nursing and memory-care facilities near her home at the Oak Run Community. As an avid bridge player, she taught many of her friends the finer nuances of the game. She will be missed dearly by her friends in Florida and across the country. Calcagni is survived by her brother, Thomas Davis, and sister-in-law, Delores Davis; her son, Thomas Calcagni, and wife, Elizabeth; her sister and brother-in-law, Clifford and Loretta Mattoon; and three grandchildren. She also is survived by four stepgrandchildren; 12 nieces and nephews and seven great-grandchildren.
