This is Maggie Elgin, a friend of Marilyn's in Asta O'Donnell's exercise class in Spring Valley, DC. Asta and I and all of Asta's students who knew Marilyn have been wondering...where is Marilyn? Marilyn had been coming to Asta's classes for well over 30 years. She made many friends in our class over the years. Asta received a phone call a number of weeks ago that Marilyn was ill. Both Asta and I called Marilyn and spoke with her briefly but did not realize we would not see her again. We are so very, very sad she is not with us any longer. We know the Memorial Service is over; we did not know about it. If there are any further gatherings in memory of Marilyn, please call me at 301 717 2995, and I will inform Asta and the many students who remember and will deeply miss Marilyn. She was so smart, and a good friend. After class, we would look out at the winter sky, and Marilyn always knew the planets, stars, and so much about the universe, and she would educate us. We will always remember her.
Sincerely,
Maggie Elgin

Marilyn was a faithful, wise and delightful woman who brought her humor, incisive mind and deep understanding to the community of Bradley Hills Presbyterian Church. She was clearly among the most brilliant women I have ever met. Yet, she was open to every person she met, and gave of her mind and heart at every opportunity.

She's actually my Mom's Cousin, but she was always "Cousin Marilyn" to us. In addition to being a brilliant physicist, she researched and documented our Mom's side of the family history (in the time before the Internet when you actually had to go to the county records and look up stuff in books). My Dad was inspired to follow her lead and did research on his side of our Family.
Like my Dad, she had a love of photography. She traveled the world for her conferences and lectures. When that wasn't enough, she would go any other amazing and interesting place where there were good pictures to be captured. When we were kids there was always a slide show from an exotic place to see when Marilyn came to visit. It was like National Geographic coming to your living room.
This past April I was in DC and we had dinner. I was trying to explain to an acquaintance who Marilyn was and they said, "I get it! So if those guys on 'The Big Bang Theory' had a Grandmother, it would be her!" Exactly.
