OXFORD – Marilyn A. Chan, 75, of Oxford, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her family on Saturday, March 28, 2009. She is now with God in Heaven. 
She was born on Sept. 16, 1933 in Calicoon, the daughter of the late George and Anna (Wagner) Dill.  On Oct. 22, 1952 she married Lewis A. Chan, whom she met while attending St. Peter’s Hospital School of Nursing in New Jersey. He passed away in 1984.
 She is survived by her children, Michael Chan of Saratoga, Debra and David Carnachan of Norwich, Linda and Chet Hobby of Hurleyville, Marilyn and Mark Roach of Oxford, and Tim Chan of Norwich; her nine grandchildren, Christopher, Jennifer, Amanda, Katlyn, Megan, Eric, Jessica, Chelsea and Mathew and her seven great-grandchildren, Quincy, Sophie, Brianna, Mackenzie, Kelsie and twins, Michael and Mikayla; her sister, Jeanne Depuy of Woodbourne, NY and several nieces and nephews.  She was predeceased by her brother William Dill.
She lived in several areas before settling in Norwich in 1961. She worked at Chenango Memorial Hospital for 35 years on the Maternity Ward. We often kidded Mom that she was the “baby nurse” for half of Chenango County. It would not be unusual to be at the store with Mom and have someone come up to her and start showing pictures of a baby she had taken care of. 
Mom, a true NY Giants football and Syracuse basketball fan also enjoyed camping, reading and crossword puzzles. Mostly Moms loved her family. She was the greatest wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was a member of St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Norwich and later St. Joseph’s Catholic Church when she moved to Oxford.
Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2005 and fought a long, courageous battle. At the end, if Mom could have, she would have thanked Linda Hesse, Dr. Karen Banks and Karen Delmonico for helping to meet her last wishes.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Wednesday at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Oxford.  Burial will be in St. Paul’s Cemetery, Norwich.
Friends may call at the Behe Funeral Home, 21 Main St., Oxford, on Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m. 
Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Chenango County, 21 Hayes St., Norwich, NY 13815 or the American Cancer Society.
