Marilyn S. Bufalini

Marilyn Bufalini, a cherished matriarch and devoted friend, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones. She was the loving wife to the late Gerald Bufalini, with whom she shared a lifetime of love and laughter.

Marilyn was the beloved mother of Gary (Kim) and the late Toni, and she leaves a legacy of love that stretches through generations. She was the proud grandmother of Ryan (Lisa), Bradley, Kyle (Marcella), and Neil. Her adoration extended to her great-grandchildren, Joshua (Riley), Madysin, Gianna, Sebastian, Vivian, and Clayton, and she lived to see the joy of her great-great-grandson, Wilson.

Marilyn’s passions in life were many. An avid golfer, she found joy and tranquility on the greens, and she delighted in friendly competition at the bowling lanes. More than anything, Marilyn treasured time spent with her family and loved ones, filling their lives with warmth, wisdom, and unconditional love. Her kindness, laughter, and vibrant spirit will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who knew and loved her.
