Lovely tribute to Marilyn.. she was so strong and independent and called a spade a spade! Hardest working person I ever met. I worked for a while with Marilyn at the Woodsman and she could run circles around me serving people. Played some cards with her over a pot of tea, curled a bit with her too. Lots of fun.
Terry, Dan, Mike and Doug... my condolences

We have many memories of Aunt Marylin and all of them fond ones. A fun person to be around and always made us feel welcome around her and at her place. We were blessed with her company.

Like her mother before her, Marilyn's actions led by example.
