East Lyme - Marilyn (Acton) Moss, 92, passed away peacefully in her sleep at home on Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2012.
Marilyn was born in March of 1920, and is predeceased by her parents, Peter J. Acton and Lillian (Ferris) Acton; and her brother, Roderick P. Acton.
Marilyn is survived by her beloved sister, Patricia Acton; her nephew, Rod Acton; her great-nephews, Erick and Andrew Acton; along with her devoted caregiver and niece, Beth Acton.
Marilyn worked for three decades as the secretary to the vice president of Thermos Company of Norwich. Marilyn was the editor of Thermos News Letter and the Thermos publication, 50 Golden Years and was instrumental in the creation of the Thermos Products Museum. Marilyn also worked at Pfizer in the Groton research division from 1973 until 1993, when she retired.
Soon after retirement, Marilyn and her sister expanded the family summer cottage on Saunder's Point in Niantic, where they permanently relocated from Gales Ferry. Throughout her lifetime, Marilyn pursued her education and loved to read. Marilyn was an avid sailor and enjoyed golfing, bridge, horseback riding and she also traveled the world extensively. After tracing her genealogy, Marilyn was proud to become a member of The Daughter's of the American Revolution and The Descendents of the Mayflower.
A memorial service will be held at a later date at Saint David's Episcopal Church in Gales Ferry, where Marilyn served on the Altar Guild.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Oswegatchie Hills Club, P.O. Box 141, Niantic, CT 06357 or the Alzheimer Foundation.
