I miss Marilyns smile, laughter and witty quips. She was a joy for me to call Friend.
Marilyn could walk into a room of people and immediately make friends with those in the crowd. She was so very kind and sincere.
It is a privilege to have known her and be a part of her life. I wish she was still here but Im happy knowing Marilyn is with our Lord and Savior and finally back with the love of her life...her dear husband Bud. Rest In Peace Sweet Marilyn. Love, Nanci Zeran (& Dennis Bowen).

Sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing. We worked with her at Michigan Bell in Kalamazoo, MI. Enjoyed & loved her. Always loved her little accent when she said 'hearts' while we were playing cards. Good to see she had many friends in FL. She will be missed.

There is a hole in our hearts now that you have been "reassigned to a team in heaven". You were part of our family and we were blessed to have you in our lives. We love you and will miss you and the "looks" that you would give Lindsay!

Just found out about Jonesy. As a rookie in 1953 Marilyn & I roomed together in Muskegon. We both lived in Kazoo and bowled, golf, and stayed friends until her death. Christina Ballingall

Marilyn loved a good time and baseball. She just loved handing out her baseball cards. I enjoyed knowing her, golfing with her and having a little toot on Tuesday and Friday nights. She's gone to the great baseball hall of fame in the sky.

You always had fun no matter what you did!
