Marilyn Gladys Goll Bruno

On August 24, 2020, Marilyn Gladys Goll Bruno, 90, of Covington, Louisiana joined her loving husband in heaven after a 13 year separation. She passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by those who loved her. Marilyn was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on January 21, 1930, to the late Gladys Steuernagel Goll and Miltner Joseph Goll.

Marilyn lived a wonderful life and treasured her many experiences from her time at Louise S. McGehee School and Newcomb College. When Marilyn was 21 years old, she married the love of her life, the late Lucas Frank Bruno, Jr. Marilyn was ever the great hostess which shined during her tenure as Captain of Les Marionettes Carnival organization. Marilyn was also President of Junior Membership of the New Orleans Women’s Club, President of Les Nouvelles, President of the Delta Women’s Club, board member for the Magnolia School and a previous Queen for both the Krewe of Eros and Les Marionette’s. Marilyn also volunteered at the East Jefferson General Hospital and was President of the Ladies Auxiliary of Goodwill. Marilyn and her husband were members of Tchefuncte Country Club where she was a member of their Honeybees group. She was an avid bridge player and was a member of the Tuesday Bridge Girls from 1960 until 2006.

However, philanthropy and entertaining took second place only to the love of her husband and three sons. Marilyn is survived by her three sons; Lucas Frank Bruno III and wife, Cornelia, Miltner Joseph Goll Bruno and wife Kathryn, and Robert Stephen Bruno and wife Karen. She had the pleasure of spoiling grandchildren, Rachele Elizabeth Bruno and Lucas Frank Bruno II, one granddaughter-in-law, Dakota Dupont Bruno as well as great grandson, Nicolas Joseph Bruno. Her memories will forever be cherished by her family and many friends including her very close friends at Christwood Retirement Community where she lived for the last 13 years. While we wish she could've stayed with us longer, it gives us great peace knowing she lived a long, happy, and fulfilled life, and is once again with her beloved husband.

Marilyn and her family would like to thank her physician, Dr. Elizabeth White, the staff of Legacy Hospice, and her companions with Right at Home Care, for their compassion, grace, professionalism, and support to her and her family during this time of need. In Marilyn's memory, please do something nice for someone.

A Private Graveside Service was held on Tuesday, September 1, 2020 in Lake Lawn Park Cemetery.
