Marilyn Small, June 14, 2024

Marilyn passed away peacefully at home after fighting a long battle with lung cancer. In true Marilyn form, she surpassed every doctor’s expectation and fought her illness with strength and grace from beginning to end. Marilyn was a loving and adored wife, mother, step-mother, Grammy and friend. She is survived by her husband Les, and children Brad (Mary) Hohenberg, Jennifer (Paul Goessling) Hohenberg, Jeff (Abbey) Small, Michael (Lisa) Small as well as grandchildren Eleanor, Luke and Finn Hohenberg, Riley, William and Harper Small and Sabrina and Sadie Small. She is preceded in death by her parents Betty and Ben Berger.

Marilyn was born on October 24, 1945 and raised in University City before attending the University of Iowa. She moved back to St. Louis after college to raise her children and reconnected with the love of her life at their 20th high school reunion. Marilyn and Les were together for over 40 years and shared a love of traveling, the mountains and champagne. Marilyn loved dancing, hiking, and spending time at the beach or in the mountains. She was always up for an adventure. Her energy, zest for life and love for her family will be missed.
