Mariann Silvestrini

Mariann S. Silvestrini, age 65, of Duluth, MN, passed away on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at her home in Duluth, MN. She was born on January 9, 1961, in Hibbing, MN, to Roy and Mary (Mihelich) Silvestrini.

Mariann worked at the Range Center as a talented candle maker. She had a goofy, fun-loving personality and was truly the life of the party. There was never a dull moment when she was around. Mariann was easy-going yet strong-willed and had a presence that let you know she wasn’t someone you’d want to mess with. She will be missed by all who knew her.

She is survived by her son Kenny Forsman, brother-in-law Gordy Dormanen and other dear relatives and friends.

Mariann is preceded in death by her parents, Roy and Mary Silvestrini, and sister, Lynn (Silvestrini) Dormanen.

Services will take place at a later date.

Arrangements are with the Dougherty Funeral Home of Hibbing, MN.
