Passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 1, 2025, surrounded by her loving children, Lori, Douglas, and Sandra. Marilyn was a lover of life - always adventurous and happiest when socializing with close friends or family. She had a love of and a passion for classical music, particularly Mozart and Beethoven and, often, she could hear her humming along to these classics or you could hear this music being played as she cooked away in the kitchen. Additionally, Marilyn loved travelling and ventured to many places including China, Western Europe, Mexico, and Great Britain. Marilyn also enjoyed volunteering and donating to numerous charities during her lifetime and was proud knowing she was making a difference in the lives of the underprivileged and those living in poverty.
In accordance with her wishes, a cremation has taken place. A Celebration of her Life will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2026, from 2-4 p.m. at Elgin Mills Funeral Centre and Cemetery, 1591 Elgin Mills Road, East, Richmond Hill. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
