Marina Magdalina Rebmann
June 26, 1969 - October 21, 2026
Marina M. Rebmann, RScP, age 57, of Parlin, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 21, 2026.
Born in Passaic, New Jersey, Marina grew up in Paramus, New Jersey, before later residing in Parlin, New Jersey, for many years.
Marina was a spiritual practitioner with the Center for Spiritual Living in Asbury Park for many years. She was full of life, fun-loving, and had a wonderful sense of humor. She had a way of making people laugh, bringing joy to those around her, and leaving an impression on the people whose lives she touched.
Marina had a deep love for animals and was a passionate advocate for animal rescue and animal welfare.
Throughout her life, she rescued and cared for many animals, and she had a special place in her heart for animals with disabilities and special needs.
Marina was also a strong and determined advocate for people with disabilities. As an amputee herself, she understood firsthand the challenges faced by people living with disabilities and used her voice to push for greater accessibility, dignity, fairness, and understanding. She believed that townships, businesses, and communities had a responsibility to make their spaces accessible and to do right by people with disabilities.
Marina was also a passionate advocate for medical cannabis as an alternative to opioid use, where appropriate, and she strongly supported efforts to reduce opioid dependence and addiction. She believed people deserved safer choices, compassionate treatment, and a voice in decisions about their own care. Marina was never afraid to speak up for people she believed deserved to be heard, respected, and given options.
Throughout Marina’s life, she faced significant health challenges with remarkable strength. She lived with neurofibromatosis and later battled ovarian cancer. Those challenges were only one part of who she was. Marina was multifaceted—a woman with a beautiful heart, a warrior spirit, a powerful voice, a love of animals, and a deep desire to make life better for others.
She is survived by her mother and partner in crime, Rhea Rebmann; her loving brother, Andreas; her two beloved nephews, Luke and Tyler; the rest of Marina’s family and friends; and the many fellow advocates who stood alongside Marina and fought with her for the causes she believed in so deeply.
In Marina’s honor, her family is planning a memorial celebration of life and charity fundraiser that will reflect the many causes that were part of her life and journey. The event is intended to support and raise awareness for causes including neurofibromatosis, ovarian cancer, amputees and people with disabilities, animal rescue, and the rescue and care of animals with disabilities.
The celebration of life and charity fundraiser will most likely take place in early spring 2027. A venue is currently being sought, and additional details will be announced as plans are finalized.
