I was so fortunate to have worked with Marilyn in the Lexington Public Schools. She was such a loving, dedicated teacher who adored her students. Marilyn was one of those special people who lightened up the darkest day. I will miss her.

Marilyn was a joy to know. I first came to know her when we were teaching special needs teens at Lexington High School in the 80's. We quickly joined forces on social development activities for our students like picnics and local outings. When Marilyn discovered I also shared an interest in music, she quickly introduced me to her beloved Lexington Music Club. Later, I followed her enthusiasm as she and Judy Goldner formed the amazing SNAP (Special Needs Arts). We continued a friendship over the years, and I think of her as a wonderful mentor, professional, and family friend. You are missed dear Marilyn.

I only knew her but briefly as a fellow patron of the BSO and wished I had been able to spend more time with her. Always upbeat, she was friendly and always smiling. My sincere condolences to her family. What a gift to the world she and Judy Goldner gave in establishing their special needs art and music program in Lexington.

My Condolences To The Family;
I'm so sorry for your great loss. May the God of all comfort be with you all during this difficult time.

I still have the words you wrote for my 50th birthday (Now 90) and perhaps that was the beginning of your idea for SNAP.
And, I will never forget the kindness of you and your family inviting me for a family dinner when my husband died.
How can we forget our voice teacher and those trips to the North Shore!
And singing for the Music Club.
So many events that make up a good life
.I feel fortunate to have had Marilyn in my life and will remember and treasure the relationship!
My deepest condolences to the family she loved so much!
