When Marilyn decided to join our family we did now know how lucky we were. She was so kind and giving and over the years gave us so many happy memories to cherish. Marilyn is and always will be missed and loved by us all.
God Bless from
June and Amanda

Our wonderful Mum and Gordon’s beautiful wife Marilyn suddenly passed away on Tuesday 8th August 2017 after a prolonged battle with cancer.
Marilyn was born in Finchley on 13 July 1953. She met many friends during her childhood and enjoyed school, especially learning languages. She also attended girl guides and rangers guides, as well as Sunday school which she later went onto run.
Marilyn studied French and Education at Brighton College of Education and University of Sussex, before going on to become an infant school teacher. She loved teaching and put so much time and effort into making sure that everyone did their best and preparing activities for the whole class.
Marilyn met Gordon at 18 plus. They married on 2nd August 1980 and shared an amazing 37 years together. Marilyn and Gordon enjoyed some fantastic holidays together including to Austria, Canada, New Zealand and Switzerland. Marilyn was an amazing Mum to Claire and Jemma, always encouraging them and showing how proud she was of their achievements.
Marilyn enjoyed spending time with friends and family. She always made sure she remembered birthdays and kept in touch with everyone through cards and letters. She also took pleasure in playing badminton, gardening and baking.
Marilyn will be sorely missed by all those who knew her.
