Marilyn Dyer Obituary
Marilyn Dyer
1935 - 2022
Marilyn passed away peacefully on July 7, 2022. She is survived by her grandchildren: Christine and Elizabeth; her great-grandchildren: Cynthia and Dominic; and numerous nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her husband, Joe; and her children: Jeff and Debby.
Marilyn was born in San Francisco spending her younger years there until she moved to Napa where she lived with her husband for 58 wonderful years together. She was an amazing seamstress making clothes, quilts, Christmas candy calendars and much more. She was also a great cook. I know we will all miss her goulash, tamale pie and her famous potato salad.
A Celebration of Life will be held for immediate family members.
Any memorial donations - in lieu of flowers - can be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or any Hospice office as they have taken amazing care of her and other family members.

I am sending my condolences to her family. We bought our house from her and Joe. It had been a great house, and now we are raising our daughter there. I will cook this meal as we still have the same stove in the house. :)

I knew Marilyn and her daughter Debbie when I was in High school, My mother and I were in the same Judo class together. I remember here being very happy and always joking, she was a lot of fun to be with.
So Sorry for your loss.

Johnnie & I are so sad to learn of Marilyn's passing. We spent many nights at local local restaurants having coffee together and discussing anything and everything. WE lost track of her after she sold her house on Silverado trail and just the other day we were actually wondering where she was and if she was ok....
Johnnie and Joe were close friends and spent alot of time together when he was young... I remember meeting Jeff & Debbi when they were just kids, it was in 1962 the year we married. They were dear friends and we have lots of great memories.... May she Rest In Peace with her family in Heaven.
