Marilyn H. Fowler
TEWKSBURY Marilyn H. (Ennis) Fowler, 75, of Tewksbury, passed away peacefully after a brief illness on Sunday, April 3, 2022, at Lowell General Hospital surrounded by her family. She was the beloved wife of Paul Michael Fowler, with whom she celebrated their Fifty Second Wedding Anniversary this past November.
Daughter of the late Alfred and the late Rose (Marcellino) Ennis, she was born July 22, 1946, in Boston and was raised and educated in Somerville and Arlington. She graduated from High School in Arlington, and went on to the Chandler School for Women in Boston.
Marilyn often shared loving memories of her childhood growing up in Cambridge/Arlington, especially those special times with her father, and the equally special times and trips with her grandmother. She was living with her family in Arlington when she met the love of her life. They both knew immediately they would be partners forever, and within a few short months they were engaged and then married.
After their marriage, she made her home and raised her loving family in Tewksbury. She has lived in Tewksbury for the last 46 years and worked for the Town of Tewksbury as a Library Aide for over 30 years, beginning with the school department at the former Junior High School, followed by the Tewksbury Public Library. She loved her career, interacting with everyone she supported, and the many friends she made. Most important to her was always spending time with her family.
In addition to her family, Marilyn loved the beach, spending time with her close friends, and always held a special place in her heart for her dogs. Marilyn always relished the memories of her trips to places like Disney, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Arizona, Europe, and for many decades you would find her enjoying the salt water, sand and seashells at Hampton beach.
In addition to her loving husband, Paul, she is survived by her two sons, Douglas Fowler and his wife Christine of Billerica, Kenneth Fowler and his wife AnneMarie of Tewksbury; her three beautiful grandchildren, Michael, Alexandra and Logan. She is also survived by many many friends including her life long friend Carol Driscoll of 75 years, and of course her lovely dog Lily, and her granddogs, Oreo, Buddy and Gigi.
Her family would like to extend their sincere thanks to the staff of Lowell General Hospital for their exceptional kindness and care during Marilyn’s stay.
