MARILYN BIENDUGA Obituary

BIENDUGA--Marilyn I. In Loving Memory of Marilyn (Brunner) Bienduga, beloved wife and matey of Richard Bienduga for 53 years. Marilyn sadly died at Holmes Regional, after a three week stay for a cardio problem on February 17, 2024 in Melbourne, FL. Marilyn was born in Ft. Wayne, Indiana to Robert and Irene Brunner on July 17, 1941. Marilyn retired from the US Government SSA after 42 years in 2006 at the Alexandria, VA office. She also worked at the Patterson, NJ office 2000. Throughout our life together, Marilyn and I enjoyed road trips, traveling in the USA, and travel to Hawaii, the Caribbean, and Europe. Marilyn also enjoyed the Arts; absolutely loved the Ballet, the Opera at the ABT and Met, the Theater, and the great museums of Washington, DC, New York, and Europe. Marilyn loved sailing, scuba diving (into her 80s), boating, fishing, horseback riding (into 80s), and snowmobiled on a glacier in Iceland. She even paraglided off of a mile high Swiss mountain in her 70s! Marilyn also loved quilting, as many family and friends can attest. But most of all, Marilyn loved her two children, three grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren, residing in Palm Beach County, FL. I Will love her and Miss her Always. Her epitaph: "Her Price is Above Rubies."
