Marilyn Jean Milonas passed from the loving arms of family into the hands of her Heavenly Father on April 7, 2021 at home in Jefferson Township, NJ. She succumbed to the ravages of her long and devastating battle with cancer. Born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Marilyn grew up in the beautiful Berkshires of Western Massachusetts and New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Marilyn was predeceased by her parents Anthony and Edna Renzo. She issurvived by her children Bill of FL, Nickos and his loving girlfriend Erin Brinck of Jefferson, and Analiese Lowry and her husband Dennis of Mt. Dora, FL, and her former daughter-in-law Angela. She leaves behind her precious Grandchildren Tyler and his fiancé Colleen, Katrina, Dylan and Julia, all of whom she was so proud.
She was also survived by her brothers, Roger Hamilton and his wife, Olga, Richard Hamilton and his wife Patricia, and sisters Antonia Sempkowski, and Michele Naiduk and her husband Joe. Marilyn, the oldest of five children was a second mother to all of them. She leaves many precious nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews and many, many cousins all of whom were close to her heart.
When not raising her family or caring for loved ones, Marilyn worked in retail management. She was truly a force of nature, devoted to her large family who could always count on her, especially in time of need. Exceptionally intelligent, knowledgeable, forward thinking, hardworking, tenacious, kind, generous of time and treasure. She had an unshakeable faith in her Lord and Savior. Family and Faith were the center of her life. Our family wonders what we will do without Marilyn to comfort us, advise us, lend a shoulder to cry on and pray for us. So, so impossible to put into mere words how much she cared for us, and we for her.
