Marilyn Shirley Weir

Underhill, VT – Marilyn Weir passed away peacefully at the age of 91 at Mansfield Place in Essex, Vermont. She was born the 11th child of 17 to the late George and Mabel (Osborn) Brown on December 31, 1931. She was raised in Foxboro, Massachusetts where she lived until moving to Vermont in 1968. She was predeceased by her husband Walter of 70 years in 2020.
Marilyn's best memories were hosting a revolving door of family and friends visiting from Massachusetts after moving to Vermont. She and Walter made life-long friendships and remained close with her siblings and in-laws. She loved classical music, was known for her quick wit and hospitality. After high school, she and two of her sisters formed the singing group the Mel-O-Dears, touring for several months to various engagements. Marilyn so enjoyed the customers she met working at various stores in the late 80's and 90's.
She is survived by daughters Lorinda Crowley (Jim) of Florida and Janet Carlson of Hinesburg; son Steven (Monica) of Underhill; three grandchildren, five great grandchildren; sister Murial Bishop of Florida, brother Donald Brown of Nevada, and a large extended family. She was also predeceased by her sons Brian and Thomas, seven sisters and six brothers.
