Marilyn Bolden Stant, age 80, was born in New Orleans, LA on February 15, 1940 and passed peacefully on May 23, 2020 at Fidelis Care Home in Metairie, LA. She was preceded by her husband Anthony “Tony” Stant, her parents Jules “Mac” Bolden and Margaret Bath Bolden, and her brother Jules Bolden Jr. (Sylvia).  Marilyn is survived by her three loving boys: Michael Stant, Patrick Stant (Lainie) and Christopher Stant (Andrea); eight grandchildren Hayley, Gabriel, Jason, Sarah, Olivia, Elizabeth, Julia, and Jane; her niece Julie Bolden Metz and nephew Jules Bolden III. She was an Irish Channel native and a graduate of Redemptorist High School; married and raised her family in New Orleans East,  eventually settling in Metairie post Katrina. Known for her red hair, Big Red found joy and friendship being an active volunteer at Resurrection of Our Lord School, St. Maria Goretti Parish Church;  Brother Martin High School Parents’ Club; Krewe of Thoth Pharaoh’s Club; and Tulane Football Greenwave Club. She loved Mardi Gras and St. Patrick’s Day, and participated as a maid in the Irish Channel St. Patrick’s Day parade and as a member of the Krewe of Iris. Attending her sons’/grandchildren’s events was dear to her heart and she considered her sons’ friends as her extended family. She will be missed as a kind and caring person.
