Kathleen Marrin Obituary

In Loving Memory of Kathleen Mary Marrin

It is with heavy hearts that we bid adieu to Kathleen Mary Marrin, who graced this world with her presence from July 15, 1945, to October 27, 2023, and managed to squeeze an impressive lifetime of adventures and laughter into her 78 years.

Kay's heart truly belonged to her beloved Chicago. She was a die-hard Cubs fan, cheering on her team through thick and thin (mostly thin). She reveled in her visits to museums and enjoyed traveling far and wide, especially on her cherished sisters' trips.

In lieu of flowers, Please consider making memorial donations to Rainbows for All Children at rainbows.org, an organization close to Kay's heart.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
