Marilyn Hagler retired Ocean Avenue Elementary School teacher, passed away on February 5, two months shy of her 89th birthday. She was pre-deceased by her husband and fellow teacher, Harold Hagler.

Marilyn was married to Howard for 60 years, and together they dedicated their careers to the Northport-East Northport District, leaving lasting impacts on both students and colleagues. Marilyn remained active in retirement, living in Florida and regularly playing 18 holes of golf until becoming ill last September . 

She is lovingly survived by her daughters, Debbi and Lauren; her sons-in-law, John Hunter and Joe Brancaleone; and her grandchildren, Melissa and Ryan. She is also survived by her great-grandchildren, Hunter, Celeste, and Indie, who she was blessed to know and cherish during her lifetime. Marilyn’s life was marked by warmth, devotion, and grace, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
