Marilyn Nelson Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on May 7, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Marilyn Nelson of Deland, Florida. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Marilyn Nelson to show support.

In the quiet moments of reflection, amidst the gentle rustle of leaves and the whispered song of the stars, we shall carry Marilyn's memory with us, a guiding light illuminating the path ahead. May Marilyn's journey be filled with peace and serenity, and may she find rest in the embrace of eternity.
