Remembering Marilyn Aponte Gougeon 1967-2021

Marilyn, her husband Eugene, and dog, Taco at the Waterfront Festival, Perth Amboy in 2018

PERTH AMBOY – Born in Perth Amboy, she was a lifelong resident. She was employed by the Perth Amboy Board of Education as a Confidential Secretary for 22 years. 

She loved all of her pets, especially her dog, Taco.

She loved the Barge Restaurant. I Remember Marilyn making face masks stating “I ♥ the Barge,” written on them and donating the entire proceeds of the sales to the Barge. She was a shining light which will never dim.

Marilyn and her husband Gene were one of the many participants in the first Perth Amboy Pink Ribbon Run to raise funds for Breast Cancer.

Visiting will be on Wednesday, December 1, 2021 from 4-8 p.m. at Novak Funeral Home, 419 Barclay St., Perth Amboy. We will begin to leave on Thursday, December 2, 2021 at 10:15 a.m. from the Gustav J. Novak Funeral Home for a Funeral Mass at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary RC Church. Burial will follow at Alpine Cemetery. C.M.
