d/o John Herbert and Catherine Louise (Rathkamp) Brownfield; w/o William “Bill” Andrews
Her father was a career naval officer who spend several years at sea during the Second World War. Marilyn spent most of her childhood and teen years in Long Beach, California, where she graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1946.
She married Bill on February 18, 1949, and graduated from George Washington University in June, 1950. The young family lived in Bethesda, Maryland. At the time, Bill was serving as an intelligence officer in the Navy.
In 1952, during the Korean War, Bill was reassigned to serve at the British Admiralty, so the family moved to England, where they lived outside of London in West Finchley. When they returned in 1954, they first settled in Brooklyn, NY. In 1955, they moved to Maplewood, N.J., from where Bill commuted into New York City every day.
In 1961, the family moved to New London, where they made a home on Little Lake Sunapee for over 50 years. During their time in New London, Marilyn was active in many community activities and programs, including the New London Outing Club, the King Ridge Ski Program, and the Little Sunapee Protective Association. She served as the chair of both Hospital Day and the New London Thrift Shop and Rummage Sale.
In local politics., she served on the Board of Selectmen from 1980 to 1986, and also served on the Planning Board, the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Budget Commission, the Conservation Commission and the Recreation Commission. At the state level, she served 6 years on the New Hampshire Solid Waste Board.
While Marilyn and Bill loved Little Sunapee and New London and immersed themselves in the community, they were also inveterate travelers who were not afraid to rough it. They travelled extensively around the world and had many extraordinary adventures. Because of Bill's status as retired military, they often flew standby on military cargo planes to overseas destinations.
Marilyn is survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Gail and George; as well as four children and their families: John, Martha, Robert, and Amanda.
