GILMAN MARILYN ON DECEMBER 10,...
GILMAN MARILYN On December 10, 2015, Marilyn Gilman passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends in her home in Upper St. Clair. She was born on April 8, 1940, in Brooklyn, New York to the late Beatrice and Leo Singer. Marilyn graduated from James Madison High School in 1957. On September 21, 1958, she married Edward Gilman. Marilyn graduated from Brooklyn College in 1960 with a Bachelor of Arts degree and began working as a social worker for New York City. In 1966, she and her family moved to Ghent, Belgium for five years, where her husband attended medical school. Marilyn taught English, music, and art for the NATO and SHAPE schools in Belgium to support her family. Upon returning to the United States in 1971, she rekindled her passion for oil painting and writing. In the 1980s, three of her novels were published by Zebra Books. In 1988, at the age of 48, Marilyn continued her education by attending Duquesne Law School and earned her Juris Doctorate. Her legal career, which focused on family law, lasted for 24 years until the summer of 2015, when ill health mandated her retirement.

In 2015, she received the Washington County Bar Association Pro Bono award for legal services donated to clients who would otherwise be unable to afford legal counsel. Marilyn was a member of the inaugural class of the Washington County C.A.S.A.

She also cared deeply for her synagogue, Beth Israel, where she was on the Board of Directors for many years. Marilyn had three children, Gary (Kathy Emery) Gilman of Canonsburg, Steven (Julia) Gilman of Erie, and Neil (Sherraine) Gilman of Converse, Texas, who passed away on January 15, 2015.
