So sad for your loss. Marilyn & I had deep conversations on many topics. Her faith in Jesus was rock-solid. Her love of family and friends was also.

I am at a loss for words. Marilyn was an amazing person, her and Delbert both took in my girls like they were their own grand kids! She even paid full price for lemon aid. My girls would bake and would always bring her a plate of goodies, she said she had a sweet tooth and the timing couldnt have been better. She will be missed by so many but especially by our family.
Praying for the family as they say good bye to our “grandma”.
