Gurskey

Marilyn G. Gurskey, lovingly known as “Bomma,” passed away peacefully on November 12, 2026, at HopeHealth Hospice Center, with her devoted husband, George, and family members by her side. She was born on March 4, 1947, in North Providence to the late Julian and Alma (Haines) Bazzle.

Marilyn will be remembered as a woman whose family and friends meant everything to her. She especially loved children and took great joy in spending time with them. She made a big impact on the lives of those around her. Her warmth and presence touched many lives, and she will be remembered with deep affection by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Before her retirement, Marilyn worked for many years at Anco Plastic Components of East Providence. While there, she made great friends who became like family. Outside of work, she loved sitting on the sidelines at her grandson's sporting events cheering for them and all of their friends. She formed many wonderful friendships with these families who all came to affectionately know her as "Bomma".  Marilyn also enjoyed playing cards and casino visits with her husband. She enjoyed good food and looked forward to sharing meals with her family. These simple pleasures, shared with the people she loved, were part of what made her so special.

She is survived by her loving husband, George, her children, Greg St. Jean and his wife, Leslie, Rachel Salvatore and her husband, Dan, Scott St. Jean, and her sister, Patricia Osiensky; also her pride and joy, her grandsons, Justin and Derek Salvatore. She also leaves her nieces and nephews, with whom she shared a special bond.  Marilyn was the sister of the late Jack Bazzle, Ellen Giannini, and Dennis Bazzle.
