Marilyn Carol Tarchinski

Marilyn's professional journey led her to a fulfilling career as a dental assistant, where her attentive and caring nature blossomed. Her work in this field was a testament to her commitment to helping others and providing comfort in every interaction.

In her personal life, Marilyn found joy in simple pleasures such as playing card games like canasta and poker, activities that she enjoyed while spending cherished moments with family and friends. Her community benefited from her involvement, particularly in her commitment to Bible study, which reflected her deep faith and dedication to spiritual growth.

In matters of the heart, Marilyn was devoted to her family. She shared 48 beautiful years of marriage with her beloved husband, Mike Tarchinski, who preceded her in death. Her legacy continues through her daughter, Tammy Dumelle (Derek), and her son, Michael Tarchinski (Judith). She was also a cherished grandmother to Chrissy Toellen (Mike), Mary Krzoska (Mike), Bryan Tarchinski, and Tessa Dumelle, as well as a proud great-grandmother to Ella and Jacob Toellen, and Margaret Ann (Maisie) Krzoska. Her love extended to her brother, Thomas Pearson (Marsha), and the dear children she embraced as family: Bruno Zaucha (Karen), Vince Aceto, Linda Enda, James Rhiel, Anne Emmerich, and Jackie Pearson.

Marilyn was preceded in death by her husband, Mike Tarchinski, her son Thomas Tarchinski; and her sister: Patricia Dalzell.

A memorial service will be held at Risen Savior Lutheran Church: 23914 S Alma School Rd, Chandler, AZ 85248, on July 19, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. Marilyn's legacy of love and compassion will be fondly remembered by all who knew her.
