Marilyn was the dear sister of Marcella Ryan (the late Stephen), the late Marie White (the late Robert), the late Joan Ames (the late John) and the late Joseph Hickey (Lorraine). She was preceded in death by her parents Joseph and Marie Hickey and her daughter Diane Sweeney.
Marilyn worked at the Naval Supply Depot and the Internal Revenue Service in Philadelphia. She finished her career as a Credit Manager at Friends Hospital. She also did some casual fashion modeling on weekends. She graduated from Little Flower High School in Philadelphia and continued her support by generously devoting time and providing financial support to the school throughout her life. She was a devout Catholic who never missed Sunday Mass along with Lew and their five Daughters. They enjoyed many family vacations at both Ocean City and the Pocono Mountains. Marilyn was known for her sense of humor and was the life of the party. People often gathered around her waiting to hear one of the many funny stories that she would tell in a style that was both interesting and unique. The laughter that she was able to generate is one of the many things that will be missed by those closest to her. She was an avid Phillies fan for most of her life because a number of Phillies players lived in the neighborhood where she grew up. She never missed watching a game on television and could recite player's statistics and the details of the game.
Through the years she blessed us in so many ways, her love, caring and encouragement has made an incredible difference in the lives of her family and those closest to her. We will always carry her memory in our hearts.
