Born September 2nd, 1936, in South Walpole, daughter of the late Thomas and Mary (Kelly) Wood, she lived in Acushnet most of her life. Marylin was a devoted wife to her husband, Everett, for 52 years until his passing in 2007. She was also his business partner at MVM Mechanical.

She especially enjoyed spending time with them hiking in New Hampshire and driving across both the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive in Virginia. Her other passion was volunteering at St. Francis Xavier School and she had done so from the 1960’s up until recent years.
She is survived by her six children; Elizabeth Trull of Fairhaven, Everett Douglas Mills, Jr. and his wife Claudia of Mattapoisett, Peter Mills and his wife Kelley of Dartmouth, Jonathan Mills, Judith Furtado and her husband John of Acushnet and Joshua Mills and his wife Kathy of Connecticut; four grandsons, Nathaniel Trull, Graham Mills, Lynden Mills and Trevor Furtado; three granddaughters, Laura Mills, Gretta Mills and Shannon Mills; a brother, Thomas Wood and his wife Elizabeth of Fl.
