Marilyn Nayh Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Reardon Simi Valley Funeral Home - Simi Valley on Dec. 31, 2025.
In Loving Memory of Marilyn Nayh
Marilyn Nayh passed away peacefully in her home on December 30, 2025, at the age of 83, surrounded by those who loved her most.
Marilyn is survived by her devoted daughter, Patricia E. Nayh Miller, and her two cherished granddaughters, Sara E. Miller and Rebecca R. Miller. She is also survived by her sister, whom she held close in her heart.
A longtime resident of Simi Valley, Marilyn made her home there for over 50 years, building a life rooted in love, family, and quiet strength. She was married for 63 years to her beloved husband and soulmate, Michael A. Nayh, until his passing in November 2024. Their enduring partnership was a testament to deep love, loyalty, laughter, and a shared joy for life that never faded.
Marilyn will be remembered as a kind and gentle soul whose warmth and compassion touched everyone around her. She had a sweet tooth that brought smiles to those who knew her-she especially loved candy bars and chocolate, finding simple joy in life's little treats. She believed in savoring life, whether through a shared laugh, a loving moment, or a piece of chocolate enjoyed just because.
She shared a beautiful, playful love with Michael, full of adventure and devotion. It brings comfort to imagine them together again now-side by side, free and happy-back on the nude beach they loved so much, reunited in peace, laughter, and endless sunshine.
Marilyn's legacy lives on through her daughter and granddaughters, and through the love she gave so freely. Though she is no longer physically with us, she lives on through all of us girls-in memories, traditions, stories, and a love that will never fade.
She will be deeply missed and forever held in our hearts. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Marilyn, please visit our floral store.
