Marilyn B. Pharo

January 10, 1938 - July 14, 2015

PHARO, Marilyn B. – 77, of Cape May passed away peacefully in her sleep and in the comfort of her home on Tuesday morning, July 14, 2015. Born in Philadelphia, Marilyn graduated from Temple University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education. She worked in the Upper Dublin School District before moving to Cape May, shortly thereafter she married Robert Pharo and together they owned and managed Pharo’s Marina in Cape May for many years before selling the marina in 1985. After selling the marina they retired to Ocala, FL where they purchased a horse farm where they enjoyed the day to day operations. Upon her husband Robert’s passing, Marilyn moved back to Cape May where she met Bob’s cousin Herb and shortly following this meeting the two were married. Marilyn worked as a cook at the Cape May Ferry and she also held a position on the Cape May Zoning Board. She enjoyed many things in life, specifically painting, horse shows with her daughter, her service dog King Tut, cooking and traveling but most of all time spent with her family and many dear friends. She is predeceased by her first husband Robert J. Pharo and her brother, William Vogel. Marilyn is dearly missed by her loving family which includes her husband, Herb; daughter, Wendy Pharo; sister, Joanne (and Edward) Mackin; one niece and two nephews and their children who were very dear to her; four stepchildren; nine grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Relatives and friends are invited to the Spilker Funeral Home, 815 Washington St., Cape May on Thursday evening from 6-8pm for a memorial gathering and again on Friday from 10-11am with Marilyn’s memorial service and time of sharing beginning at 11am.
