Marilyn passed away at home, surrounded by her daughters and her devoted companion, Carol Weinstein. Her grand-dog, Einstein, will miss her sneaking him treats. Marilyn graduated from Philadelphia High School for Girls and Temple University. She was an elementary teacher and a counselor in the School District of Philadelphia. She continued her career in education upon her move to New Jersey as an elementary and middle school teacher in Ocean Township. A great source of pride of hers, was that she helped to shape the lives of so many young people. She retired after 33.5 years.
