Dear Family
I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mother. I want you all to know I am thinking of you. My Aunt Marilyn always reminded me of my own Mother, her sister, Colleen. I'm sure they are together.
Much Love to All,

Marilyn was a gracious lady, an example to those she came in contact with, a champion of people's rights, a stalwart in the Church, and a person who will be dearly missed. She set a high bar and will be remembered by our family as a loving, caring, and dear friend. 'Til we meet again....

Marilyn was true to her principles and would fight with all the muster she had for whatever she thought was right. Some called her pretty tough, but I think it could best be described as firm but fair. But what endeared her even more to many of us who worked around the Capitol and with her on a daily basis was that she also always listened, and she was willing to change her position if facts or constructive criticism warranted it. Even more importantly, she would treat everyone with respect, a respect which she earned from all with whom she came into contact. She also wanted us all to appreciate our heritage. We talked at an event at Tovrea Castle, and she couldn't say enough about the importance of preserving, and appreciating, our heitage. She wanted so much to leave a world better for our children and our children's children. Marilyn stood tall in so many ways.

It is an honor to have known such an honorable lady.
Senator Jarrett began her legislative tenure in the House of Representatives. Her kind nature and gentle demeanor always set her apart. The last time I saw Senator Jarrett, she paused by my office door in the House basement and said "I miss this place...it seems like home." I assured her that House Majority Research Staff missed her too.
Senator Jarrett gave new meaning to the words "elite lady." We pay tribute to you, Senator! God Bless You and Yours!

Marilyn Jarrett may be best remembered for her outstanding service as a citizen legislator, but much more important was the way she treated people from all walks of life. She always encountered a friend or a stranger with the same dignity and grace that exemplified her life. A quiet woman of strength and honor, we were blessed to know you Marilyn.

A soft-spoken lady with unbending principles, Marilyn was a friend to all. An unstinting advocate for the principles espoused by the Reagan Republican Platform, Sen. Jarrett was a beacon of truth for all who were fortunate to know and love her.
Marilyn was a role model that all elected officials would be wise to emulate. A tireless crusader for the values of our Founding Fathers, Marilyn never sacrificed moral or ethical values for either personal gain or political expediency.
Marilyn and I shared a passion for Arizona and its citizens. I will miss her as a mentor and friend and the State of Arizona, especially the Legislature, will miss her leadership and her charm.
Cooney
March 12, 2006
Senator Marilyn Jarrett bestowed a huge honor on our family after C.E. Pep Cooney passed away. She invited us all to the State Capitol to have a special proclamation of his life and accomplishments read on the floor. It is now a permanent part of the record of the State legislature. It was a touching tribute that meant so much to us... and she was so warm and genuine to all of us that day. She is a class act, who will be missed. The Cooney Family
J.D. Hayworth

Marilyn Jarrett epitomized the term "citizen legislator." She left the theorizing to others and worked to find solutions and common ground. She never abandoned her common-sense conservative principles, just as she never personalized disagreements with others. She left us too suddenly, and the shock of her sudden loss is difficult to bear. Mary and I ask our fellow Arizonans to keep Marilyn's family in our prayers,and we will carry the memory and example of this remarkable lady in our hearts.

Senator Jarrett cared about children and public education.She had a passion for the teaching of reading.She talked many times over the years of how proud she was of legislation that she worked on a number of years ago that provided additional dollars to the Mesa School District that allowed the district to start a Summer reading program.I will miss her smile and her friendship.She demonstrated that you can fight for what you feel is right without being mean spirited .She will be missed.

To Marilyn's Children: I was shocked and so sad to hear of your mothers sudden passing. (Relieved though, that she didn't suffer long.) I have such fond and cherished memories of our teen years together and then later when I was lucky enough to get to know all of you when she and I were Real Estate partners in Utah County and you all lived in my Orem neighborhood. You were always her first priority and she was so proud of each of you. She left a great legacy of service.
To Marilyn: You always did want to be first at everything, but this time it is not okay! I am flooded with memories of Snowflake days and then of our renewed personal and business relationship in Utah many years later. I have followed your professional career in AZ and cherish those times we had the opprotunity to visit about the issues that impassioned and launched you into public service. I was so impressed with your energy and excitement as you put your heart and soul in the work you were elected to do.
I will miss you! Thanks for your great friendship for the past 50+ years. I'm not happy to be reminded of my own mortality but am happy for you and for the joy that must be occuring as you are reunited with dear parents and siblings. LUCKY HEAVEN!
Love, Donna Porter Gibbons

As a lobbyist, I had the privilege of working with Marilyn during her entire tenure in the Legislature, sometimes on the same side and sometimes on different sides of an issue. Lobbyists truly appreciate a legislator's willingness to listen and discuss an issue, and then ultimately identify and understand why a Member takes a position in support of or opposition to his. Marilyn always did that with me. What a lobbyist appreciates most, though, is integrity, and clearly Marilyn had it! One could count on her word. That is the ultimate tribute, and integrity should move anyone to the head of the line for Heaven! I know the angels gave Senator Jarrett ticket number one to meet St. Peter. My thanks, Marilyn, and my prayers.

Marily was MY Senator and a class act, a role model for all. I will miss her and Arizona will miss her. She was one of the kindest people I know. Her quiet strength and determination was an oasis in the midst of chaos. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to her on the Senate floor scold her colleagues for their bad behavior more than once.
My sympathies for the family and how fortunate you were to have called her Mom, Grandmother and Friend.
Bern Porter

Marilyn was the younger sister of one of my best friends in high school, Ervin Black, who tragically died in an automobile accident when he was a student at the University of Arizona. I named my first born son after him, Marley Ervin Porter.
Marilyn was also one of my sister's (Donna Porter Gibbons) best friends and her classmate in high school. I remember her as being a very tall girl, who looked even taller standing next to my 5'4" sister. She had a winning smile and a knack for making and keeping friends. I am confident that she and her brother, Ervin, are enjoying a great reunion together.
She was a lady of principle and integrity, who served us well. We will miss her contributions to the law making process. She was truly a super woman.
Alma Williams
March 11, 2006
Had I never met her and observed her quiet manner, I'd still have admired her for a single thing she did: She apologized on the floor of the Senate for the egregious remarks of another Senator. That is the epitome of grace. In a world that is increasingly coarse, she will be sorely missed. Thank you, Marilyn, for being a model of ladyship.
Jan Brewer
March 11, 2006
Marilyn was one of a kind. A SUPER Mother, a great friend, and an excellent legislator. She always had time for everyone and a kind word for every situation. I will miss her everyday. My prayers will be with her family who loved her so dearly and who will miss her affection.

As a former resident of Arizona who returned home to Massachusetts after a similar fate fell upon my family's highest hierarchy; I can only say my thoughts & prayers are with you all. She was a great woman who embraced the motorcycle community and supported it's voice. She will be missed immensely by people she didn't know, yet who's life & lifestyle she touched with her passion & sense of commitment.

I met Marilyn in 1994, the year we both ran for the Arizona House of Representatives - and won. I remember voting for the Speaker at the time - Mark Killian. He told me that he was sure Marilyn and I would get along fine because we were so much alike. What a compliment that turned out to be. Marilyn always showed great leadership in a mild-mannered way, but persistantly pressed forward until she reached her goal. I greatly admired her and her willingness to fight for what she believed in. Well done, my friend...well done.

Senator, we always laughed and smiled with each other and said one day, when you could throw your cane away, that we would dance together. I know you're dancing now. Heaven must have the best dancing music we could ask for, and for sure, better partners than I. So, when I get there, save the next dance for me. We Love you, and we will never stop loving you. You will always be "better than we deserved." Coach Quelland

Marilyn Jarrett was a woman of faith, courage, integrity and principle. She sponsored a bill I drafted in 1998 that allowed communities to better protect themselves from the harmful effects of sexually oriented businesses, and Arizona communities are safer today as a result. Her efforts on behalf of our state have made Arizona a better place to live. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends tonight. She will be missed.

I loved Marilyn!!! She was a good and loyal friend, especially to my son in law, Jeff Groscost. That meant very much to us during diffficult times in the political arena. I have worked with her in our District since moving to Mesa. We, as good friends, constituents, and citizens of Arizona will deeply miss her genuine concern for the state she served dilligently, courageously and faithfully. We loved her as a caring friend. She was an example to everyone she met.
We extend our love and prayers to her family at this, the saddest of times. Barbara and Bob Ipsen

A regal, principled, sweet and soft-spoken lady, Marilyn was a dear friend to me and to The Center for Arizona Policy. We shared a passion for unborn children, their mothers and for our families. Marilyn sponsored many of the CAP bills that have passed over the last ten years, and scored 100% on CAP’s annual voting records. In 2003, she sponsored the informed consent for abortion bill, also known as the Women’s Right to Know Act. In 2005, she sponsored the fetal homicide bill, one of the strongest laws in the nation to protect the unborn child. In 1998, she sponsored legislation to regulate the hours of sexually oriented businesses and to allow counties to implement ordinances regulating these establishments. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sen. Jarrett’s family and her legislative family – the legislators, staff members and lobbyists who have known and worked with Marilyn for years. We will miss her friendly smile, cheerful attitude and pro-family voting record.

Several years ago when my daughter was gravely ill, Marilyn called me at home to offer words of comfort and support. She began crying very hard, so deep was her compassion. When I heard of her passing I immediately thought of that conversation. While her mission here has drawn to a close, I am certain that a new one has begun for such a kind and caring lady.

Tribute to a Dedicated Public Servant
State Sen. Marilyn Jarrett served her district residents and the entire state of Arizona with honor and distinction.
I am saddened to learn of the passing of a friend and former colleague. I served with Marilyn when she was a State Representative. We served together on committees and sat near each other on the Floor. I remember she was always engaged in the legislative process interested in solving problems as well as keeping a keen eye on state spending. She was focused and a quick study on issues. I recall one of her first major legislative acts was her bill establishing an auto theft prevention authority. She did not get it passed the first time but through her doggedness and tenacity it was enacted in its second attempt.
However, amidst the push and pull, hustle and bustle, wrangling and horse trading of politics Marilyn was able to maintain her personal sense of civility, composure, gentleness and sense of humor. I always admired her for her professional and personal balance.
I, along with the entire state, will miss Marilyn. My deepest condolences to Marilyn's family; my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Barry Wong
State Rep. (1993-2000)

Personally, I worked with Senator Jarrett very closely. She was a compassionate and caring visionary. I will miss her very much.
On behalf of the MISS Foundation:
The MISS Foundation and its membership sadly mourn the death of Senator Marilyn Jarrett, Arizona legislator and the author of the first MISSing Angels bill in the nation. Senator Jarrett, then in the House of Representatives, worked with MISS Foundation CEO, Joanne Cacciatore, to author the MISSing Angels bill in 2000. She championed in both the house and the senate to ensure its passage.
“Senator Jarrett believed in our cause,” says Cacciatore. “She knew it was the right thing to do…she never doubted for a moment. And for that, I’ll always be in her debt.” Jarrett served the legislature since 1995 and has chaired numerous committees. “One of the things I hope people remember about her is that her commitment to the MISSing Angels bill set into motion a movement across our country to help women experiencing this tragedy. She literally helped to change the world for this woman’s issue,” Cacciatore notes. Jarrett’s vision for this legislation has inspired 15 other states to follow suit just since Arizona’s passage in 2001.
She will be deeply mourned by many.
Mary Palas

My thoughts and prayers are with the Senator's family at this difficult time. Senator Jarrett was a grand lady who truly cared about the State of Arizona and it's people.
John MacDonald
March 10, 2006
As a lobbyist, I would see Senator Jarrett nearly every day of the legislative session. Everything about her -- her voice, her manner, the dignified way she moved about the halls of power, cane in hand -- was graceful.
On many occassions, her position on a particular issue was the opposite of mine. With some legislators, that justifies a brutal, unyielding fight.
But even at times of sharp disagreement, Mrs. Jarrett did so with a gentle conviction that would uproot even the deepest, most bitter legislative stereotype. I never heard her say one bad thing about anyone, ever.
She was lovely in any sense of the word, and her loss will be deeply felt.
Norma Chastain

Dear Mr. Jarrett,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you. I first met Marilyn when she served in the House with my husband Don. He had the greatest respect for her and her ideals.
Prayers and sympathy go to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Mary Aldridge

I worked with Sen. Jarrett at the Senate for the last several years. She was fair, honest, and forthright. The Senate and the State are diminished with her passing.
