It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Marilyn J. Doto (Wilmington, Delaware), who passed away on October 7, 2023, at the age of 77, leaving to mourn family and friends. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Chevy and Lyn; her siblings, William J. Doto, Jr., Richard J. Doto and Mary Jean Doto; her niece Jennifer Duncan; and her nephew Michael Doto.
She is survived by: her friend Lyn; her husband William S. Montgomery; her sisters, Michele J.

By November 2020, although at high risk to contract COVID, she broke her self-imposed isolation for an afternoon to decorate her car and drive, horn-honking, through the streets of Wilmington's riverfront to join in the celebration for the election of her hometown hero, Joe Biden.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions in Lyn's memory to The Carter Center, One Copenhill, 453 John Lewis Freedom Parkway NE, Atlanta, GA 30307 (http://www.cartercenter.org) or to Sojourners' Place, 2901 Northeast Boulevard, Wilmington, DE 19802 (sojournersplace.org).
