Memories and Condolences
for Marilyn Rodman

Not sure what to say?





Please accept my most heartfelt condolences to your entire family. She was a wonderful person. I remember standing in the rain with my Mom when I was a pre-teen, proudly holding signs and talking to voters as they drove by heading to the polls supporting Marilyn and the family in yet another election. She did so much and is so fondly remembered. I know for certain that both of my parents were right up front of the crowd waiting to welcome her into heaven.

Sincerest Sympathies,
Marianne Martino Rogers and Family

To the whole rodman family, we are very sorry the loss of Marilyn. She and Donny were extremely nice and caring to our family the cohen's. I especially remember the way Marilyn treated my dad who helped decorate the house in canton and cape cod. I was lucky to meet her on many occasions and she was sweet and always smiled. I also remember when she and Donny came to our house in Sharon when I graduated high school and saw the 77 plate on the ford. All these years later and I still think of her smile. Wow 60 years of marriage is also a testament to her and Donny's love and commitment. We will miss her.

I have very fond memories of working with Marilyn during our Hadassah years together. I particularly remember a wonderful event we held at your home when one of the Regional board members showed a film and talked about her most recent trip to Israel. Marilyn was always so gracious and welcoming. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. May she connect with you in spirit and be your angel watching over the family that she loved so much.

I had the pleasure of serving on the Canton School Committee with Marilyn and it was clearly obvious that her only agenda was one which supported the very best for the children of Canton. Mary Graziano

To the entire Rodman family, my most sincere condolences. I was first introduced to Marilyn and Don at the tender age of eighteen. Marilyn was always a stunning woman with a captivating smile. But, her beauty went far beyond her physical being. Her energy, her loyalty, her love, involvement and commitment to her family and community were legendary. Everyone knew Marilyn, and Marilyn knew and cared about each person she met. My earliest memory of Marilyn was a warm spring day in 1980 when she was cruising the streets of Canton in a Mustang convertible with Leland, the family pooch. To this very day, I smile when I reflect on that picture. But, the most meaningful memory is the way she carved out time to spend alone with each grandchild . I , too, have a heavy heart. May your memories comfort you and soothe your pain at this difficult time. With much live, Rhona Pinta
