Prayers and Love to Bill, Brenda, Deanna, Jacqueline, all the grandchildren, extended family and friends. I will always remember Marilyn dancing at Jacqueline's wedding and being the true life of the party! She always had an endless amount of energy, and I will always remember her fondly!

We are so sorry for your loss. I will miss visits with Marilyn!! I enjoyed visiting Marilyn and Bill over the years, with baked goods in hand. One day Marilyn greeted me at the door and said, "now Debbie you don´t always have to bake before you come! We just like visiting with you!" But then she added, "but boy I sure do like these chocolate covered peanut clusters!" Ha! I always enjoyed talking to her (and Bill). She often reminisced about trips with their family and National Park visits. She often mentioned what a huge help Deanna, Kevin, Brenda and Mark were to them as they aged. She was a great conversationalist and will be greatly missed!! Thankful that she is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for all eternity
