      Marilyn Janice Sanderson was a caring and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her life ended surrounded by her loving children on August, 9, 2024, ending her long battle with Alzheimer’s. She was 84 when she passed.

      Marilyn was born in Richland, NY on April 13, 1940, daughter of Rex and Ethel Maitland. Marilyn attended APW High School and married Frank Earl Sanderson on August 10, 1958. Marilyn and Frank resided in Adams, Pulaski, and Pillar Point until Frank passed in 2016. They also had a winter residence at Continental Country Club in Wildwood, Florida, where they enjoyed golfing together for many years.

      Marilyn was a very talented seamstress; creating beautiful quilts, Vera Bradley knockoff handbags, and even made her eldest granddaughter’s wedding gown. Marilyn was also an avid golfer and won the Women’s Club Championship at the Elm’s Golf Club in 1976 and the Women’s Club Championship at the Watertown Golf Club in 1994.

(Rick) McNitt of Pulaski; Grandchildren Alicia (Matt) Richardson, Andrew (Katie) McNitt, Adam (Katey Niles) McNitt, Kevin (Marissa) Clark, Allison (Anthony) Allen, Shawn (Kati) Gaffney, Alyssa (Steve) Loder; and her Great-Grandchildren Eli, Grace & Claire Richardson, Charlie McNitt, Owen & Blake McNitt, Jackson Gaffney, and Caleb Clark.

      The family would like to thank all of Marilyn’s caregivers at Park Rose Estates in Liverpool, Brookdale Memory Care in Fayetteville, and the Cottages in Cicero. You are all amazing people in how you cared for our mother and others facing the same issues she faced. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
