May 31, 1950 — December 16, 2017
Marilyn Jean (Smith) Demmy, 67, of Harrisburg, joined her Lord on December 16th, 2017 at her home.
Born May 31, 1950 in Harrisburg, she was the daughter of the late Harry Smith and Evelyn (Springer) Smith of Carlisle.
Marilyn was a 1968 graduate of Central Dauphin High School. Following high school, she became an honor student at Maryland Medical Secretarial School, graduating in 1970. She worked for the former Tristan’s Associates at Polyclinic Radiology Department, the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, was secretary to the Assistant Attorney General, and, after returning to the medical field, retired from Harrisburg Gastroenterology. Marilyn was also a Princess House supervisor, for which she won a number of sales awards.
She was very crafty and was a school room helper to her children’s teachers. A seamstress, she made suits for husband David, baby blankets for many of the children in the family, and baby bibs for many friends’ babies.
Marilyn served in her church, Crosspoint United Methodist Church, with her musical talents and co-directed the children’s choir with her sister Patti for over 20 years.
