I worked with Marilyn at WSU. She was a joy to work with and I loved talking to her. She had a great sense of humor and was full of wisdom. When we had parties at work her food was so good. I even use her BBQ sauce recipe to this day. She will be missed.

We never met Marilyn. However, I know I´m not alone when I say that she helped create one of the kindest, most caring and giving persons I´ve ever known in her daughter Mary T. I´m sure Marilyn shared the same traits. Prayers for the entire family; may she rest in peace.

We didn´t have the honor of ever meeting Marilyn, but we felt we knew her through the love of her son, Joey. He always had a kind word for those in need. He related stories of his beautiful mother. We are so grateful to "know" her through the wonderful son that she raised. Our heart and prayers are with Marilyn´s family as they honor their mother and grandmother.
