She was an administrator assistant at Filenes in Boston and before retiring she was an administrator assistant at Dana Farber in Boston.

            Marilyn was a dedicated Boston sports fan and could often be found cheering on the Patriots and Celtics. She also had a passion for the beach and spent most of her summers at her beach house in Salisbury, MA. She was a devoted Catholic and would spend her Sunday’s at mass and various church events. She also had a great love for her granddaughter and could be found at work, the mall, or the beach with her. She would interact with everyone and create many friendships.
