We are saddened to share the passing of former Samaritan House Director Marilyn Cipollone.

Marilyn served Samaritan House for 26 years, dedicating much of her life to supporting women and children experiencing homelessness. Even in retirement, she remained involved, continuing to support the organization by serving on its Board of Directors and generously sharing her experience and insight. Through her leadership, compassion, and commitment to service, she helped shape the mission and impact of Samaritan House for decades. She was a friend to many and a champion of hope.

Her work touched countless lives in our community, and her legacy of care and generosity will always be part of Samaritan House.

We extend our condolences to Marilyn’s family and loved ones. She will be deeply missed.

View Marilyn Cipolone's obituary, send flowers and sign the guestbook.
