Marilynn Roberta Wood

Marilynn Roberta Wood, age 88 of Warren, died peacefully at home on Sunday, November 24, 2019. She was born November 23, 1931 in Detroit, daughter of the late Nathan and the late Lucille (nee: Giacobazzi) Ceschin.

Marilynn left Plant Engineering (Right of Way Department) of Michigan Bell Telephone Company a month prior to her marriage to “Chuck” which took place on June 20, 1959 and they shared 49 years and 10 months together before Chuck’s passing. Marilynn’s interests were many. In 1975, she was the author of two dog law bills regarding humane euthanasia of animals in dog pounds and shelters. With the help of hundreds of Michigan residents, the backing of the Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society, the Michigan Humane Society, and members of our State Legislature, it was after five long years that the bills became law in 1980. They remain laws to this day. Marilynn enjoyed her family, friends, pets, reading, traveling, bookkeeping, creating jewelry, and making & repairing rosaries.

Marilynn was the beloved wife of the late Charles “Chuck” Wood. Dearest mother of Laura Yvonne (Carter) Goodman and Alan Brandan Carter. Precious Grandmother of Brian E. (Jennifer) Goodman, Alan N. Carter, Brandan A. Carter, and Great-Grandmom of Eric, Michael and Steven Goodman. Loving Godmother of Marie Martin. 

A Memorial Mass for Marilynn will be held in the Spring of 2020. Please check back for future updates.
