Marilyn E. Haines, 80, of Lewes, passed away at home Saturday, April 8, 2023. She was born Nov. 5, 1942, in Passaic, N.J., daughter of the late Albert and Elizabeth Magdall.

Marilyn made her career as a social worker with the Department of Developmental Disabilities for the State of New Jersey. In 2000, she and her husband, Philip, moved to Delaware, where they would enjoy their retirement. She was an avid painter and gardener, and a proud lover of cats. Philip and Marilyn enjoyed traveling in their spare time, especially relaxing on cruises together. She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who will be missed by all who knew her.

Marilyn is survived by her loving husband of 58 years, Philip R. Haines; her son, Dale Haines and his wife Kathleen; and her two grandsons, Sean and Mark Haines.

Services will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Marilyn’s honor may be made to Sussex County MS Shore Group, 112 Sylva Drive, c/o Colvett, Milton, DE 19968.
