It was a delight to get to know Marilyn.  I so enjoyed her friend along with Betty and Elaine.   I was the administrative assistant to the Dept. Chairman and they were the professors teaching the courses I was keeping track of.   Marilyn was so low key and she cared so much about all her students.  How lucky I was to get to know her, her husband Murray and the father of her three sons.  We were pregnant at the same time except I only had two children and she got to have three.  Good memories of her, our friendship and the fabulous women we worked with.   She will always be a part of my history and I send her my love for now and for all eternity.

I have wonderful memories of knowing and working with you at Hofstra College (yes Hofstra College).  You, Elaine Block, Betty Jemmott and myself - a team of great friends.   You will always be remembered.  

Love to your family,
Josephine Haggerty 

So sorry to learn of Marilyn's passing.  My sincere condolences to her family, sons and grandchildren.  A smart , courageous women I had he pleasure of knowing since 1961.   May she rest in peace.





Marilyn was my mother, Patricia Bertini’s, boss for many years at Washington Street School. My mom had a very strong bond with her. I remember Marilyn sitting behind her desk so vividly and am so sad to hear of her passing . As I change careers from televison to education, I can only hope to work for a principal like Marilyn. She showed unwavering support and compassion for her staff. I haven’t seen her in about 25-30 years but her impact is everlasting. 

Marilyn was my first cousin.  Her mother Tillie, and my mother, Rita, were sisters.  There were 8 siblings all together, and they formed a close group of aunts, uncles and cousins - the Robinsons - that dominated our childhood. I spent a large amount of time with Marilyn as a kid, at big and small family gatherings, and sometime she took care of me. There was always a great feeling of closeness, and a lot of laughs.  Here's a picture of us from back in the day, in a classic Brooklyn setting.  She's the older one, about 5-6 years older than me. We will all miss you Marilyn! 

Marilyn was my aunt, the last of that generation. Her life was not an easy one as she became a widow at a young age. She had to raise three boys on her own and did a great job of it. 
I had been in almost constant touch with her in recent years texting, emailing and phoning to talk politics. She was a politics "junkie" and loved the give and take between us. 
Her loss is a gut punch to me. She was lucid in her old age and still had a wicked sense of humor. I will miss her very much. May she rest in peace.

I have many wonderful memories of Marilyn and the many years she was my principal at Washington St.  I loved her quick wit and her knowledge of (it seemed) everything.   She gave me as a teacher the freedom to teach the way I thought best and guidance when sought.  She believed as teachers you knew the kids in your class best and the right method to use to get the point across.  She wasn't a "yes" woman but she always supported you.  I look back on many  happy times and conversations.  Rest in peace, Marilyn.

I was deeply saddened to hear about Marilyn.  She was my Principal for many years when I taught at Washington Street School.  She was very supportive of my efforts as band director, and always gave me free rein to exercise my musical creativity.  One year I decided to do a James Bond medley with the band at the spring concert.  Following the performance, she presented me with a head of broccoli.  Why?  Because Albert Broccoli was the producer for many of the James bond films!  Marilyn had a wonderful sense of humor and a warm and gentle spirit.  She will be missed.  My sincere condolences to her family.

I was fortunate to be able to spend “our” monthly luncheons  together for quite a few years. We would visit different locations all around the east end of Long Island.   We never ran out of conversation, discussing art, history, and words. Of course family, feelings and day to day talk. We quite enjoyed our outings and always looked forward to the next  visit which we would set up before we would part. 
I have happy memories to draw upon. The consequences of loving is the sadness when one departs. Marilyn, you are. Worth it and more. Thank you for being my Big cousin. I love you ❤️

Marilyn was our son's teacher & then his principal. She was truly an amazing gift to the children. She cared deeply for each & everyone of them & always had the time for all. She put all the parents at ease & understood just how they were feeling. As your sorrow lessens, may you be filled with wonderful memories of your Mom & Nana.

I am so truly sorry to hear of Mrs  Dreilingers passing. My condolences to her family 
I hold good memories of her years at Washington Street School. Rest In Peace
