Marilyn was such a joy to work with! I first met Marilyn in the 1990s. She came into our schools with such a wonderful happy demeanor, very detailed oriented and extremely competent at all things. She was so intelligent and creative. Throughout my administrative career, I always asked Marilyn to return even after her retirement to work as much as she was able to complete our special projects and put her finishing touch on products and reports. She had such a youthful frame of mind! She was much loved by all of us who knew her!
