Marilyn D. Barbagallo

Marilyn D. Barbagallo departed this world on July 11, 2025 at the age of 86. She was born on May 15, 1939 in Brooklyn, New York. She raised her family in North Babylon, NY and later moved to Douglassville, PA, where she spent the later part of her life. 

Marilyn was deeply attached to her family. She found immense joy in her roles as mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She is survived by her loving son Douglas and his wife Hilary Barbagallo; her devoted daughter Helene and her husband John Spatola; as well as her treasured grandchildren, John, Matthew, Nico, and Addie and great grand-children Gia and Alexa. Marilyn’s legacy lives on in their hearts, a testament to her nurturing spirit and unwavering love. 

Marilyn is predeceased by her husband Richard S. Barbagallo (2001), her parents Vincent and Marie Bilello, and her brothers Vincent Bilello and Richard Bilello. 

Marilyn was a force of nature known for her strong will and heartwarming humor. A caring soul who took a genuine motherly interest in those around her, she made anyone who crossed her path feel like family.

In her younger years, Marilyn enjoyed gardening, traveling and finding solace and joy in the beauty of the ocean. She was also an animal lover, creating a welcoming home for many furry companions. In her later years, she enjoyed visiting with neighbors and friends and chatting the day away. A total matchmaker, she delighted in connecting people, weaving friendships and bonds that would stand the test of time.

Her legacy is one of kindness, laughter, and a community that she cherished deeply.
