Marilyn was a loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She dearly loved her family and was proud of them. She enjoyed craft beers and a wry sense of humor.
She is survived by her six children, Judy (Thomas) Dority, Therese M. Culver, Edwin F. (Jayne) Cole, Ralph L. (Bonnie) Cole, Jr., Thomas A. (Christie) Cole, Carol A. (Justin) Looymans; her grandchildren, Mary (Chris) Harris, Jennifer Shaffier, Brian (Paige) Hall, Kevin (Taylor) Hall, Jesse Campbell, Paxton Cole, Harrison Cole, Christopher (Nicole) Cole, Kaellan Cole, Kian Cole, Jessica (Aboud) Tabel, Lyndsey Cole, David Cole, Christian Looymans, and Willow Looymans; and her eleven great grandchildren.
Marilyn was preceded in death by her husband of almost 29 years, Ralph Lawrence Cole, Sr.; and two brothers, Robert Kidd and Frederick S. Kidd, Jr.
The family will receive friends on Monday, April 28, 2025, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Waite Funeral Home, 765 N Court Street, Medina, Ohio 44256.
