Not sure what to say?

Marilyn Abel was wonderful Piano Teacher and I was in her children group

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...

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.

I was Mrs Abel's student not her teacher.

I'm so sorry to hear Mrs Abel's passing, I had so much fun with her when I took piano lessons at her home when I was young.

Debbie Lewis and family want to say thanks for all that she did.

To Debbie and Lee: I am so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. You were devoted children to her and she taught you to love deeply. She will always be with you. I havent seen you for so long. Not since Chris Osheas service but will always treasure our friendship. Love Jackie

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.
