Marilyn J. Tillinghast, 94, went to her heavenly home on Friday, June 20, 2025. She was a lifelong resident of Center Ossipee. She was a member of the First Congregational Church of Ossipee for almost 80 years. She is survived by her brother Gene Raymond of Laconia and his wife Jane, daughter Dawn Marion of Center Ossipee, and her husband Brad Marion, her son Lance Tillinghast of Barrington, and his wife Linda Armirotto, and her son Adam Tillinghast of Silver Lake and his wife Winnie, her beloved grandsons, Ethan, Aaron, Jacob, Zane, Sam and great grandson Elden.

She loved to travel and always visited her children when she could. She had a kind heart, a wonderful laugh and found joy in helping others. Her strong faith in Jesus Christ was the foundation of how she lived her life and the legacy that she leaves for all who knew her.

"However I consider my life worth nothing to me: my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given to me-the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace." Acts 20:24
