SERELSON, Marilyn E.

Age 91, of Lake Worth, FL, formerly of Dayton, passed away Thursday, February 4, 2021. Marilyn was the Membership

Marilyn devoted her life to her family, friends, and community. She never missed a single grandchild's bar or bat mitzvah, always the belle of the ball at every family event. Marilyn was a giving and caring member of the Jewish community. She gave her time and her faith to those who needed it. The family traditions she valued so highly and never once missed out on were always full of love, light, and laughter and will continue to live on for generations to come.

Mom, I still can't believe you are gone. I have a lifetime of wonderful memories that I will carry forever. You gave me so much, especially three incredible sisters and a terrific brother. We will always love you and remember you with warmth and joy

Marilyn was such a special friend to me. I worked with her many years at the Jewish Center. I was not of Jewish faith but she accepted me for who I was and we had such a special bond. She never met a stranger and always made people feel welcome and very much a part of the community. I could never say enough good things about the person she was. She loved her family beyond measure and was so very proud of each one. No one can fill her void, she was so special to do many.

My sincere condolences to Marilyn's family.
I knew Marilyn when I was with Friendship Village and I so enjoyed talking with her. She always gave you her full attention and looked right into your eyes when you talked. She had the sweetest smile that just made you feel warm and loved.
Please take comfort in your memories and know that others loved and appreciated her as well.
