I was so sorry to read Marilyn's obit in the Chronicle. She and I were classmates at VJC and I also knew her in high school when I was dating my husband, Colbert Woodie) Wood. We always had such great memories and times together. It is always hard to hear of our friends for so many years ago passing, maybe she and Woody are reminiscing in the great beyond. Sadly, Joan Bruce Wood

So sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing she was a wonderful lady. As a child in Morgan I remember going to church and wondering which hat she would wear. I also remember working on the sugar on snow with her, Ruth, and Doris. Those were the days. Take care keep her close to your heart.
