In 1981, Marlyn moved to Newark.  She lived on her own and made more new friends, while working in Laundry Services at the Newark Hotel, until 2002.  After that time, Marlyn received care in multiple assisted living facilities, in the area, through 2018.

Marlyn may have been small in stature but if you were every graced by her laugh and smile, your experience was a memorable treasure.  She will be dearly missed and best remembered by how she so delicately arranged all her treasured bunnies and special magnets in her apartments.  “Marlyn Darlin”, you have made such an impact on so many lives, please always remember how loved you are, have been and always will be.
