Marilyn B. Gill

Marilyn "Moni" Beth Gill (née Myers) passed suddenly on July 11th, 2025, of Cape May Court House/Wenonah, NJ, and Marathon, FL. Born in Philadelphia on January 30, 1947. Predeceased by her husband of 50 years, Ron “Robalo” Gill. Survived by her sister-in-law Bolly Ruiz of Philadelphia; daughters Debbie (Chris) Starr of Villas and Cheryl Deacon of Thorofare; grandchildren Russell Starr, Ronald Starr, James (Bridgette) Deacon Jr., Nicole Deacon, and Carlee McCarty; and known lovingly as Great 'Gillma' to the little crab she hopes will be a keeper. She was also ‘Aunt Yacht-sea’ to many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and a best friend to many loving family pets, including the late, great Jack-Cat and her purrfect Penny Sprinkles. Moni was well known for bringing joy to those around her — from a quick joke or sprinkles hidden in greeting cards to countless phone calls checking in on dear friends. A beacon in her communities, she was active in the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Jr. Miss, Jayceettes, and the “Christmas in July” parades with family and friends. She attended hundreds of concerts, including Jackson Browne, the Grateful Dead, Ringo, Fat Mezz, Ed Sheeran, and Jimmy Buffett. Let us not forget her role as Happy Hour Director of the Montourage, her CB radio friends for life (Elaine, Lizzie, Barbie, and June), and her best friend and weekly Yahtzee partner, Roni. Retired at the age of 16, Moni moved from Philly to Avalon, where she met a handsome blue-eyed boy — her high school sweetheart, Ronnie Gill. They married in November 1964 and lived on Stone Harbor Blvd. In 1972, they moved to Wenonah but continued to spend time at the shore house. Ron and Mon were a perfect match, and for 50 beautiful years of marriage, they brought their contagious good-time vibes with them everywhere they went. Whether on the boat fishing, crabbing, or bar-hopping through happy hours, the good times were always brighter when shared with family and friends. Captain Ron “Robalo” Gill has been patiently waiting for his bride on the dock of Walt’s Place in heaven — still serving 25¢ beer and free crabs with live entertainment by Captain Larry. She lived 78 beautiful years, with every single day full of life and love. She will forever be etched in our hearts and missed by all. Relatives and friends are invited to a viewing on Sunday, July 20th, 2025 from 12-2pm with a Funeral Service to follow at 2pm in The Chapel at BOUCHER FUNERAL HOME, 1757 Delsea Drive, Deptford, NJ 08096. . Graveside services will be held at 10am on Monday, July 21st, 2025 at Eglington Cemetery, Clarksboro. For condolences, please visit www.boucherfuneralhome.com.
