Marilyn Burr Hardisty, 82 of Woodbury, CT passed away peacefully in her home on March 29th, 2020 in Asheville, NC.

She was the youngest of 3 children born May 11, 1937 to Eileen Thompson and Harold Roland Burr. Marilyn was preceded in death by her sister, Barbara DiBattisto of Niantic, CT and Robert Burr of Ashford, CT.

Marilyn is survived by her 3 children; Lisa Shields of Penhook, VA, Col. William S. Carle of Alexandria, VA and Amy Carle of Asheville, NC as well as 3 grandchildren; Ryan Shields, Jonathan Shields and Keely Carle.

Marilyn studied at Green Mountain College in Poultney, VT before marrying Ralph W. Carle with whom she had her 3 children. She was married again to Raymond A. Hardisty of Woodbury, CT whose general contracting business she assisted in turning into a very successful enterprise. Marilyn lived most of her life in Woodbury, CT and was a determined, hard working, loving and compassionate woman dedicating her life to her children and most especially her grandchildren. She had a passion for gardening and lived every day to the fullest. She will be deeply missed by all the people she knew and loved.

A graveyard memorial service will take place at a TBD date this Summer at the Woodbury Cemetery where she will be laid to rest beside her mother and father.

  2. Marilyn was a spunky woman ( like me and that’s why I liked her I guess) and she gave that awesome independence and determination that saw her through her life to her kids especially her daughters. I know she loved her kids so much and her family was her life. Many people will miss Marilyns outspoken ways but also her compassion for her family and friends and her doggies whom she adored for sure! ( as they did her). We will all miss her so much and my prayers are with you all as you grieve her loss now but hopefully find solace in her loving memories later. Much love to your family. Rose

  4. Aunt Mal always had time to talk with me. She genuinely cared about people. She respected that we were all different and liked it that way. You always knew where you stood with Marilyn and you could always lean on her for support. Miss her.

  5. Aunt Mal was my favorite. She always had time for me. She always told it like it was which was refreshing. Marilyn always did it her way but respected that we were all different. She had that way of making you feel comfortable which is such an admirable trait. I’ll miss her energy and her love for life. May she Rest In Peace.
