Marilyn Hardy Mountain

SOUTH PORTLAND – On May 13, 2025, Marilyn Hardy Mountain, 96, of South Portland, died peacefully at the home of one of her children, where she was lovingly cared for and spent time with family during her last 10 weeks.

She will be forever missed by her five children, their partners, nine grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren. Her children are James E. Mountain, Jr. of Saco, Marie L Clements of Buxton, Annette M. Berube of Gorham, Rosalie J. McMullen of Scarborough and Shawn E. Mountain of Standish. She is also survived by her brother, Edward Marshall Hardy and his wife Sue of Brunswick.

Her husband of 70 years, James E. Mountain, Sr. passed away in 2020. Her parents, Gladys Marshall Hardy and Thomas Phillip Hardy, and their first-born infant, Thomas Jr., are also deceased.

While her children were young, Marilyn was a skilled homemaker. In 1978, she returned to work and held several positions at Unum, primarily in the Legal Department, until retiring in 1993. Marilyn enjoyed family, friends, and was a master of many crafts.

Special thanks to Jay Dodge and “Brother“ Bob Van Der Meiren who helped Marilyn stay in her beloved home by faithfully shoveling, taking out the trash, and plowing. The family appreciates all you did. You meant a lot to her.

The family is grateful for the support provided by Northern Lights Hospice, especially from her nurse, Haley Davis, and CNAs, Tammy Ingraham and Steff Allen.
