Marilyn or “Nomma” as she was referred to was a native of Auburn, the daughter of the late Murray Lynch Sr. and Julia Pinchak Lynch.

Marilyn enjoyed gardening, and reading. She stayed active playing softball, baseball and bowling. She founded a softball league for young girls at the Syracuse Valley Little League fields.
She was a devoted Mother and Grandmother, and had a unique ability to strike up a conversation with just about anyone. Always making them feel comfortable and valued to listen to. She had an extremely compassionate heart and was acutely aware of the problems that the poor and other people in need faced and was always willing to help in any way that she could.
Marilyn is survived by her husband of 62 years Robert Roebuck, her son Andrei (Joanne) Roebuck, her daughter Julia Green, and grandchildren Tiffany and Nicholas Green.
