I have not seen Marilyn for a long time but remember that she was always a quiet, sweet, funny lady and loved her family so much. R.I.P.

Marilyn was such an amazingly kind woman,always rushing about until the pandemic and then being unwell. We shared a love of books, and mints etc but Marilyn always spoke of her love for her 2sons Ryan and Jason and her grandchildren...family was everything. I shall miss her deeply and keep her in my heart ❤️

I only had the pleasure of knowing Marilyn for what was just too short a time for someone of her caliber. She was so kind, so honest, so compassionate you could see it in her eyes. And Marilyn was hilarious. It seemed to come natural that she could fill the entire room I was in with laughter with her razor sharp wit and original and subtle comebacks. Marilyn is gone now, and we are left to thank her through knowing her two remarkable sons who are packed tight with the exemplary values she instilled in them. Not just for their benefit. But for all of us who know them.
Peace Marilyn.
