A lifelong Jersey Shore local, Marilu was born June 26, 1944 at Monmouth Medical Center, alongside her beloved twin sister, Cheryl Berns, to Domenica “Shirley” Baratta and Jerome Kantor. She lived her entire life at the Jersey Shore with residences in Deal, Ocean, West Long Branch, and Tinton Falls.

Marilu was predeceased by her parents and her husband of 43 years, Ronald H. Brousell. She is survived by her daughters Heather Brousell and Heidi Nonnemacher; her son Norman Rosenberg; her son-in-law Michael Nonnemacher; her daughter-in-law Jo Rosenberg; her 8 grandchildren and her 9 great grandchildren.
