Memorial Marilyn Terkoski May 2023
Marilyn was the first Housing Counselor hired by Catholic Charities (1995) to staff the new and exciting First Time Homebuyer Program, a collaboration between Catholic Charities and the City of Elmira.
Her efforts in those early years helped to build the effective and successful program that continues today. She taught us how to invite and encourage families and individuals to consider homeownership and how to make a successful transition from renting to owning. Marilyn celebrated every closing and she enjoyed driving around City neighborhoods pointing out all the beautifully-cared-for homes occupied by First Time Homebuyers – 484 homeowners to date!
We are deeply grateful to Marilyn and we send our condolences to her family.
