Marilyn Seregely

Marilyn “Mell” Ericson Soderbom Seregely, age 87, passed away peacefully on September 25, 2026, in Miami, Florida. Born on October 12, 1938, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, she was the cherished daughter of the late Eric and Alta Ericson.

A woman of faith, resilience, and deep devotion to her family, Marilyn spent her early life in Connecticut before eventually relocating to the sunshine of Florida, where she spent her later years creating new friendships and memories.

She was preceded in death by her beloved first husband, John "Jack" Soderbom; her dear second husband, Stephen Seregely; and her devoted partner, Richard Hines. She will also have a heavenly reunion with her dear son, Carl Soderbom; her parents, Eric and Alta; her brother, Eric Ericson Jr.; and her six sisters, Barbara Howe, Elaine Girard, Alta Groulx, Frances Mitchell, Carol Frage, and Shirley Dykes.

Marilyn’s legacy lives on through her surviving family. She leaves behind her loving sister, Maureen Parks, along with many nieces and nephews who will forever cherish her memory, her stories, and the affection she shared with them.

Marilyn was the first in her family to graduate from college, an accomplishment she was proud of. She was a gifted artist, and more recently authored a book that she did not get to see published. She was a lifetime member of the VFW Women’s Auxiliary, and a dedicated member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Homestead, FL.

A service to honor her life and legacy will be held at a later date.
