Marilyn Dandry Lemons' Obituary
Marilyn Margaret Dandry Lemons passed away on Thursday, February 6, 2025. She was born in New Orleans, LA on December 12, 1948.
She is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, Gregory James Lemons; her children, Mindy Lemons Pellegrin (John Nette) and Lanie Adair Lemons (Michael Harrity); her great-grandson, Adam Michael Pellegrin.

She was preceded in death by her mother Hazel Marie Trosclair; her grandson, Tate Douglas Pellegrin and her sister, Dina LeBlanc McGraw.
Marilyn was an accomplished talker, sewer, smocker, quilt maker and all around craftswoman. She had the ability to make anything beautiful and her taste was impeccable. She lived many places and traveled extensively, but home and family were her pride and joy. Marilyn was instrumental in the raising of not only her own children, but had a huge role in the lives of her siblings, grandson, and great-grandson. Though small in stature she was large in life and will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
