WILTON — On Thursday, May 11, Marilyn Judkins Fountain, 58, passed forward after her most courageous battle with cancer in Wilton.

Marilyn was born on Sept. 5, 1958, in Waco, Texas, the second of three sisters born to John and Myrtle (Mason) Judkins of South Paris.

Marilyn’s career included utilizing her professional bookkeeping talents with several mid-state area companies over the years. Her special joy was her love and dedication to family. In addition to her husband, Ron, of Abbot, Marilyn was an especially proud mom to her daughters, Rebecca and her husband, James Lancaster, of Wilton and Sarah and her fiancée, Andrew Peters, of Oxford, Pa., and son, Charles Dam and his fiancée, Bernadette Lammi, of Danvers, Mass. Equally special are her four precious granddaughters, Taylor and Addison Lancaster and Dylan and Peyton Peters; three sisters, Lisa Plunkett and her husband, David, of Bangor, Carrie Guy and her husband, David, of Alexander City, Ala., and Alyce Rich and her husband, Matt, of South Paris; and one brother, John Judkins of South Paris.

Marilyn will be fondly remembered by many for a variety of reasons, among them, her talent and passion for baking so many goodies, her green thumb in the garden, as well as her “professional eye” for that unique photograph.

Marilyn and Ron were active members of the Dover-Foxcroft Congregational Church, where she served as the clerk for several years as well as church deacon.

She is loved deeply by her family and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. We trust she is now in a better place with the Lord.

Her family invites you to share memories, condolences and tributes on her memorial wall at www.wilesrc.com, where her video tribute may be viewed later next week.
