MARILYN SPINELLI Obituary

SPINELLI, Marilyn (Kramer) Of Walpole, MA, formerly of Waltham, passed away peacefully, on November 8, 2025. Marilyn embraced life with joy and enthusiasm. She loved traveling, golfing, bowling, and playing cards: most often at Oakley Country Club, where she was a member for more than 60 years. Above all, her greatest love was her family. She was the devoted mother of her only child, Mary (Montooth) Sharkey and her husband, Bill, of Norfolk, MA; and the cherished grandmother of Katie and Andrew. One of the greatest blessings of Marilyn's life was meeting her great-granddaughter, Karlie, shortly before her passing. Her family finds comfort knowing she is now at peace, reunited in heaven with the loved ones who went before her. They take solace picturing her happily swinging her golf clubs and enjoying a glass of wine with her friends after finishing a round. Burial will be private, with a Celebration of Marilyn's Life to be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Marilyn's name may be made to Tunnel to Towers Foundation, 2361 Hylan Boulevard, Staten Island, NY 10306 or by visiting https://t2t.org/ Arrangements by James H. Delaney and Son Funeral Home, WALPOLE. James H. Delaney and Son Funeral Home www.delaneyfuneral.com
