Our beloved mother Marilyn Joyce Cross passed away on Wednesday January 18. She was born Marilyn Virag January 16, 1930 in San Francisco, moving to San Diego after her marriage to William “Bill” Cross in 1949. Bill preceded her in death after 54 years of marriage.
She was a longtime and active resident volunteering her time and resources to many local social and philanthropic organizations. She was a caring and charitable friend who enjoyed gardening and protecting the unique treasures that make San Diego special.
She is survived by her son (William Cross), her daughter and spouse (Catherine and David Christopher), her brother and spouse (Lee and Virginia Virag of Fresno), 2 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild.
She will be missed by the many whose lives she touched.
