Marion A. Mullarkey, 88 of Spring Lake Heights passed away Thursday, January 18, 2024 at Jersey Shore Medical Center, Neptune, with her beloved daughters at her side. Marion was born in Jersey City and was raised in Rutherford prior to moving to Spring Lake 55 years ago.
As a resident of Spring Lake, she was a devout and dedicated member of St. Catharine Parish.

Marion had obtained her BA and MA in Education from Montclair State University and had been employed as a Registered Nurse for many years for the NJ Department of Education, Trenton, NJ.
Marion took up running at the age of 60 and won several races in her Age Group. If Marion wasn’t running a race, she was cheering on her family or volunteering for races. She was a lifelong Giants fan who attended many a home game. Marion loved watching any sport that her grandchildren were playing from T-ball games to College sports. She had a unique talent in that she could remove any stain from her family’s clothing. Marion loved serving her community, always enjoyed an ice cream at Sundae’s and going to NYC to see a Broadway show. But what she loved most was her family and she showed her love for them every day of her life.
