Marilyn Sarah Baron

In Loving Memory of Marilyn Sarah Baron (née Rusterholz)

July 31, 1990 – April 10, 2025

With deepest sorrow, we announce the passing of Marilyn Baron, “Mare”, who left us peacefully on April 10, 2025, at the age of 34. Marilyn lived life with boundless energy and joy—her heart simply could not keep pace.

Marilyn was a devoted mother to her beloved sons, Nash and Banks, who were her greatest pride and joy. She was the cherished daughter of Loretta & Richard Rusterholz, a loving sister to Aaron (Katie Harrison), and an adoring aunt to Aria. Marilyn will be deeply missed by her grandparents, Mary & Fred Rusterholz and Anna Lee, her uncles David Rusterholz and John (Kyoko) Lee, her cousin Natasha Lee, her aunt Gloria Lee, and many extended family members, as well as dear friends and colleagues. She also shared a respectful co-parenting relationship with her former husband, Andrew Baron, united in their love for their children.

Athletic, adventurous, and full of life, Marilyn found happiness in the outdoors—running, hiking, and exploring wherever she could. Her adventurous spirit took her to new places and brought her close to people from all walks of life.

Above all, Marilyn’s life was anchored in her Christian faith. She radiated compassion, warmth, and grace, making everyone she met feel welcomed and loved. Her presence was a gift, and her legacy of love, strength, and faith will live on in all who knew her.

A celebration of Marilyn’s life will be held @ 11:00am on April 29, 2025, at Beulah Alliance Church, 17504 98a Ave NW, Edmonton, AB. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to a favourite charity.

Marilyn “Mare” will be remembered always, missed deeply, and loved forever. We find comfort in the hope that we will meet again.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” – Matthew 25:23
