Marilyn (Boiman) Barnes

Survived by her sister Bea Levin, her loving girls Randi Jenkins, Debbie Nix (Barry), Sue Smith, stepdaughter Cynthia and her children Elizabeth, John and Joan, granddaughter Ava, Bob’s sons Gregory and Matt; and grandson Andrew Jenkins. She was preceded in death by her husband Bob Barnes, brother Harold and grandson David Nix. A service will be held at Kahler Hall, Old Tucker Row, Columbia, MD 21044, on December 26 from 1-3PM.
