Marilyn Greene Hague, 83, passed away peacefully Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2018 in the company of her loving family.

Marilyn was born in Providence and was the daughter of Ray and Marjorie Greene and the sister of the late Marshall and Julie Greene.   

Marilyn was raised in Barrington, attended Lincoln School and spent many of her days on the links and courts at RICC and the ski slopes of New England. After attending Wheaton College, she married the late Jay Hague and was a teacher at New Canaan Country School. Jay and Marilyn had two children, Tim and Susan, whom they raised in Redding, Conn.

Marilyn touched the lives of all who knew her and shared her various passions with a wonderful array of friends. Some met her on the beach walking her beloved golden retrievers, while others met her on the golf course or tennis court, where her kind demeanor belied her competitive spirit. She volunteered at various preschools and churches, in each place she called home, and was always eager to lend a hand or a smile to a friend in need.

Throughout her life, Marilyn enjoyed wonderful experiences at her homes in Hazelton and Swarthmore, Penn., Seabrook Island, S.C. and most recently Denver, Colo. However, the place she held most dear in her later years was her summer cottage on Capitol Island, Maine where she enjoyed days on the porch reminiscing about island memories, watching the lobstermen pull traps and waving to friends as they sailed by. This was the one place where her entire family was sure to visit, friends popped in and out the door, and when her speech failed her, a smile was worth a thousand words.

Marilyn is survived by her daughter Susan, her husband Bob and their daughters Claire and Sydney of Evergreen, Colo., as well as son Tim, his wife Beth and their twins Caroline and Walker of Washington, DC. Though her siblings and husband had passed, she was blessed to be very close to her nieces Lisa, Linda and Jennifer, her nephews Bill and Jeff, extended family and amazing lifelong friends.
