Marilyn was talented when it came to gardening and was well known for her flower gardens, both in Piscataway and Rockledge. In 2015, she won the Mayor’s Award for Best Garden in Brevard County. She devoted her life to her family and helping others. As a faithful Christian and Servant of God, she could be found reading her bible for prayer and reflection each morning. Marilyn was an excellent seamstress, loved angels, and had a knack for home decoration.
She will truly be missed by all those who knew and adored her. Marilyn always called Piscataway her second home and longed for the day she could be close to her family and friends once again.
Marilyn leaves behind her loving and devoted family; husband Trent Chatman and their children; Trevor Watts and his wife Mechea of Piscataway, Sandra Watts of New Rochelle, NY, Sharon Watts-Conville and her husband Julian, Angela Hunnighen and her husband Sheldon, and Aaron Chatman, all of Piscataway.
Marilyn will be missed dearly by her eight grandchildren; Shan-Tasia, Trevor, Jahkel, Michael, Sayyed, Aurianah, Mia, and Warner, three great-grandchildren; Ezra, Elijah and Mechea and her siblings; Patricia Clarke, Charles Godwin, Joseph Godwin and Maurisa Bradley.
