Marilyn Holben 

September 25, 1942-July 30, 2025

Marilyn Holben (nee Kaline), a long time resident of Burlington Township, passed away peacefully on July 30, 2025 at the age of 82. Marilyn was born in Kearny, NJ to the late Jerome and Evelyn Kaline. She grew up in Miami, Florida before making her home in Burlington Township.

Love of family was a constant in her life. Marilyn is survived by her dear children Eva Marie Peak (Richard) and Aaron Jerome Holben (Denise), her beloved grandchildren Tatiana, Amanda, and Mitchell (Alicia), and her precious great-grandchildren Jaylen, Ricky, Evelyn, Bellarose, and baby to be Myla. She was preceded in death by her loving brother, Jerome Kaline and her fiance Allan Morris. Marilyn is also survived by her sister-in-law Anna, nephew Michael, niece Andrea (Mario) and children. 

Marilyn worked in the medical business office at Memorial Hospital in Mt. Holly for many years before leaving to be with her parents in Palmetto Bay, Florida during the destructive aftermath of Hurricane Andrew. She used her spare time there to volunteer with the recovery effort. Marilyn was an avid gardener, which was a love she shared with her mother. She also enjoyed taking scenic drives on back roads and delving into her Lithuanian heritage by attending festivals and dances. Marilyn was dedicated to her Roman Catholic faith and felt blessed to attend mass said by Pope John Paul II.

A viewing for Marilyn will be held at St. Paul RC Church, 223 E. Union St., Burlington on Tuesday, August 5, 2025 from 10:00-11:00 AM followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00. Burial will follow at Laurel Hill Cemetery, Jacksonville Rd, Burlington.
