Marilyn is survived by her beloved husband of eleven years, Carl Hafstrom; her three loving sons, Edward W. Fox, Jr. and his wife Charlene of Charlton, Richard A. Fox and his wife Kathleen of Shrewsbury, and Paul M. Fox, also of Shrewsbury; six grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, as well as several nieces and nephews.

Marilyn was born in Worcester, was a graduate of Millbury High School, and later graduated from Becker College in Worcester. For over twenty years, she worked as a secretary for the Town of Shrewsbury, in the school, water, and engineering departments. Marilyn retired in the mid-1990’s.
In her free time, she enjoyed traveling, taking long road trips around the United States - her favorite being the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and camping with her family on Cape Cod, in Nickerson State Park. She especially loved spending time with her grandchildren, and hosting large family dinners and holidays.
