So sorry to hear of Marilyn’s passing. She was always a caring, friendly person. I met her some 43 years ago when our husbands worked and played baseball together. She always planned fun and games for all the kids at the company picnics. She was fun to be around, enjoyed living life to the fullest. She will be dearly missed by many. My prayers are with all .
