Marilyn Wyman

Marilyn Melissa Wyman, age 78, passed away July 9, 2020.  She was born in Bradford, PA on December 26, 1941 to Isadore Goodman and Esther Goodman Voss.

Marilyn loved people and made sure to put family and friends first. In 1979, she donated a kidney to her late brother, Nathan “Nate” Goodman, who, along with their late sister Sandra “Sandy” Stein, had Polycystic Kidney Disease. From her loving act, he enjoyed nearly 40 additional years of life.   In 1963, Marilyn had the light of her life, daughter Ilyssa, who gave her her ‘little Grammie awards,’ grandchildren Rachel, Alexis, Julianna, and Thomas. 

Marilyn was a graduate of Academy High School and attended Pennsylvania State University. She was a passionate saleswoman. Her passion started with working at the family store at a young age and progressed into clothing, beauty products, and her later professional passion, bringing new families to Erie by selling real estate with Jane Theuerkauf Realty and Coldwell Banker Real Estate. 

Marilyn was a member of both Brith Sholom and Temple Anshe Hesed. She was an active member in the local Jewish community in her healthy years, leading and participating in adult singles activities. 

Marilyn loved a bit of glitz and glamour and liked to make the visual world more fun. She’s fondly remembered for her cheeky, sparkly hats, fun shoes, and the beautiful scarves she knitted for her grandchildren. 

She is survived and will remain in loving memory by daughter Ilyssa (Lisa) Mallis, son-in-law Dean Mallis, and grandchildren Rachel, Alexis, Julianna, and Thomas, all of Marietta, GA.

In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to https://pkdcure.org/ in memory of Marilyn, Nate, and Sandy.
