Marilyn M. Borinsky (Martin) 61, of W. Norwegian St., Pottsville, passed away Wednesday, July 11th, at her residence.  Born in Japan, November 23, 1956, she is the daughter of Helene Martin Vernosky, Ashland and the late Zane Martin. Preceding her in death was an order brother Zane Martin.  Growing up she enjoyed listening to John Denver, and was a big fan of KISS, but she was not a fan of being picked on by her older brothers, Bob and Zane, despite the joy it brought to them.  She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, listening to music and being surrounded by her loving pets.  Marilyn was kind, generous, loved by all and will be greatly missed.
