It was with sadness that we learned of Marilyn's passing. She was Angela and Elizabeth's kindergarten teacher and they loved her! They are now recent graduates of the UA and we're happy that Marilyn started them on their educational journey. May God be with Scott and his family at this difficult time.

Marilyn entered our life when she became my son's kindergarten teacher (he's now 30!) Her bubbly enthusiasm and warm sensitivity made a nervous mother grateful that her first born was receiving the very best educational experience. Over the years, Marilyn's energy and sense of joy enriched the occasions we shared. We will miss her beautiful spirit and shining eyes. She was a gift in our lives, and in the lives of all who knew her. God's speed, dear Marilyn. Much love and peace to the Morgan family.

Marilyn was a part of our lives from the time she became my son's kindergarten teacher (he's now 30!) Her bubbly enthusiasm and warm sensitivity made a nervous mother grateful that her first born was experiencing the very best educational beginning. Over the years, Marilyn's energy and sense of joy were apparent every time we were together. We will miss her beautiful spirit and shining eyes. She was a gift in our life, and in the lives of all who knew her. God's speed, dear Marilyn. Much love and peace to the Morgan family.
