Marilyn Michael

Marilyn Michael, 95, formerly of Macungie, passed away Thursday, December 4, 2025, at Above and Beyond at the Knights, Allentown. She was the wife of the late Carl "Mike" Michael. Born in Moosic, Lackawanna County, she was the daughter of the late Harry O and Ella (King) Willard, and was one of 8 children. She was a member of Bethany United Methodist Church, Wescosville. She was employed by the former Merchants Bank for 20+ years at various locations including Wescosville, Jordan Park, Southern Lehigh, and Tannersville where she retired as bank manager; and she was a member of the American Institute of Banking.

A love of baseball was instilled in her at an early age by her grandfather taking her to minor league games. This grew to Marilyn becoming enamored with her Philadelphia Phillies, seldom missing watching a televised game.

She was a voracious reader who valued higher education, loved completing crossword puzzles, and lived vicariously through each of her children, having seen each of them graduate from college, which was her wish.

Marilyn was predeceased by a son, Scott Craig, and is survived by sons Barry W. (Susan) of Danville, KY, Carl D. (Jane) of Sanford, FL, Richard B. (Sue Ann) of Easton, PA, daughter Linda Findlay of Alburtis, PA, 7 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren.

Services will be private at the convenience of the family. Arrangements by Schmoyer Funeral Home, Breinigsville PA

Memorials can be made in lieu of flowers to Bethany United Methodist Church in Wescosville.
