My condolences to Marilyn’s family and friends. I worked with Marilyn many years ago at Mary Shadd Public school. She was a dedicated and hard-working teacher who had a passion for making a difference. Her students loved her kind and calming nature. With her colleagues and friends, she was personable, caring, and really spent the time to help us out when we needed it. She always put others before her own needs.

I enjoyed getting to know Marilyn through our family tree project. She took the lead in setting it all up and we had fun gathering information about our relations. I also enjoyed getting her yearly Christmas cards that were created by herself. Very talented woman and I will miss her dearly.
