OBITUARY

Marilyn J Moser

6/10/1941 – 11/24/2022

---

Marilyn J. Moser was born on June 10, 1941 in Brooklyn, NY to Helen and Louis Casino.  She was sister to Lorraine R. Cali.

Framing our grief through the frame of gratitude our beloved mother passed away peacefully on Thanksgiving morning, November 24, 2022.

During her 81 years of life, Marilyn was a graduate of James Madison HS, in Brooklyn NY who then attended cosmetology school to become a professional colorist at a hair salon in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.

Years later, she worked at Sears Roebuck & Co. then went on to marry Charles E. Moser and start a family.  She managed a home, raising her 5 children and became a grandmother of 8 and a great grandmother of 4. 

She honed in on her love for children and for clothing by starting a new career as a clothing Buyer for Denny’s Children’s Wear.  She spent her retirement years continuing her generosity to the community by volunteering at NYC Department of Education Public School 254 in Brooklyn, NY.

As we celebrate her journey, we remember that her creativity included needlepoint, artwork and her love of writing letters by hand on fancy stationery with elaborate seals for the lucky recipient.  Her wanderlust and passion for boating brought her to all of her favorite coastal New England towns in America and abroad where she collected antiques and fashionable clothing.

Marilyn’s favorite epic movies satisfied the history buff in her with Dr. Zhivago, Gone with the Wind, Ben Hur, and Lawrence of Arabia. To broaden her amazing wealth of knowledge and to enhance conversations, a day wouldn’t pass without a few hours of  NOVA, Finding your Roots, Great Performances or Thirteen Specials on PBS Channel 13.

While the Italian tenor Andrea Boccelli brought joy to her heart, old blue-eyes Frank Sinatra always brought a smile to her face.  Marilyn always looked forward to spending her favorite holidays, Easter and Christmas with family, celebrating with gourmet meals she prepared and including delicious chocolate desserts, all while her iced coffee was never out of arm’s reach. 

From geraniums to roses, a spring season was an indication of a new beginning each year as she expressed her love for planting and beautifying her garden with new flowers for Mother’s Day, then hearing the sound of the bugler as she watched the Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown Races. If you knew her, you knew she was always a fan of the long shot! A true extension of the kind of person she was, a loving, inspiring supporter to anyone in need, who never expected anything in return.  She raised her children to give everything their very best at all times, to never ever give up hope, but to accept reality!

Marilyn is survived by her beloved life partner, Donald Dong who was loyally at her side through life and at the time of her passing.  Her son, Craig Rogers, daughters Kim Beyer, Christina Moser DeMayo and Son-in-law Peter DeMayo, and daughter Kerri Moser and her Fiancee Christine Reuss.   Her Grandchildren, Charlie, Samuel and Lilly Sloves, Grace Beyer, Daniel, Tyler, Amanda and Nicholas Rogers. 

Her Great Grandchildren include; Nora, Sophia, Logan and Scarlet Rogers.
