E. Marilyn Tarbox

E. Marilyn Tarbox East Greenwich—Marilyn passed away peacefully with family by her side on June 24, 2023 at the age of 95. A lifelong Rhode Island resident, she was the daughter of the late Lynford and Edith Richardson. She was the wife of the late Milton R. Tarbox.

Marilyn first worked in the insurance industry at Prudential and continued working alongside her husband Milton for many years at his insurance agency in East Greenwich. She was an active volunteer at Kent County Hospital for forty years, enjoying many friendships that developed through her service. Her joys in life were many and varied, including the love of her family, hours spent with her flowers, and her exceptional seamstress and stained glass skills.

She will be remembered as a true lady—steadfast, understanding and generous.
