Marilyn was born in Rochester, New York on May 9, 1930 to the late Willis G. and Bertha Mae Miller Golding. She was lovingly raised by her Aunt Mary E. Dykes and Marilyn lived most of her life in Syracuse, New York. She attended Eastwood High School, loved to swim and was a good bowler. She retired from the Syracuse Community Health Center as a medical secretary and transcriptionist . . . and to simply say she was exceptional in performance would be a gross understatement.

She is survived by her daughter, Donna Sumner of Fort Wayne, Indiana and two sons, Mark L. (Tan) McKee of Syracuse, New York and Bryan G. (Sue) McKee of Nedrow, New York. Marilyn is also survived by seven grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren. The family would like to express its gratitude for the extra care provided to Marilyn by her grandson, Roger Sumner and his wife Kim, and to the nursing staff of Canterbury Rehabilitation in Fort Wayne, Indiana There will be no calling hours. Private Services will be held at a later date.
