Marilyn Frances Cirone, age 80, passed peacefully into eternal rest, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable meals shared around her table.
Born on April 7, 1945, in Jersey City, New Jersey, Marilyn was born into the Vallely/Enright family and carried her deep love of family throughout her entire life. She raised her children in Toms River, New Jersey, where her home became the heart of countless celebrations, holidays, and Sunday dinners. In her later years, she resided in Sugar Hill, Georgia, with her beloved husband, Tomm Cirone.
Marilyn is survived by her devoted husband, Tomm Cirone; her daughter and son-in-law, Drs. Deb Cirone and Joe Clarino; her sons and daughters-in-law, Tommy and Lorena Cirone, and Drs. Michael and Kim Cirone. She was a proud and loving grandmother to Stephanie, Lauren, TJ, Kenny, and Leslie, and a cherished great-grandmother to sweet Remy.
She was known for bringing family and friends together with her amazing recipes — no one could ever say no. In Marilyn’s world, life was a constant celebration. Her wicked sense of humor and contagious laugh could fill a room — and often did. She had a way of drawing people in, making everyone feel welcome, loved, and well-fed.
Marilyn’s warmth, generosity, and joyful spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but her legacy lives on in the family she cherished and the traditions she created. Marilyn's family finds peace in knowing she is now resting in the arms of her Savior, reunited with loved ones who have gone before her, and embraced by the eternal love of Jesus.
