When retired, she enjoyed reading, playing tennis and bocce, traveling with her brother, Tom, and sister in law, Susie, and taking long walks with her beloved dogs, Waldo and Dudley, in Chatham, NJ, Brewster, MA and Naples FL. Marilyn was a kind and generous person and will be missed by all who knew her.

The family wants to thank the many friends who walked Dudley multiple times a day for months, who cooked food, who visited and who helped as her health advocate during her illness. They were all wonderful and most caring. We particularly thank Marie Brown and Gloria Keesee who drove her to her treatments and spent many a night assisting her.

In lieu of flowers, the family request contributions be made to the charity of your choice or The American Cancer Society.
