She also enjoyed the part time jobs she held throughout her life including clerical positions at Rogers and Alexander's Department stores in the Bronx, Abercrombie & Fitch in Manhattan, Reader's Digest in Pleasantville, NY and as a bank teller in Croton, NY. Marilyn was a loving and giving person who cared for many of her elderly relatives in her lifetime. She loved hosting family holidays and dinner parties with friends and vacationing in Wildwood and Long Beach Island, NJ. She enjoyed remodeling, decorating and redecorating her home, gardening, shopping, going out to breakfast and getting dressed up for Sunday Mass at St. Mary's Church in Nassau, NY where she had a special devotion to St. Anthony.
