Marilyn Ross Blum

Leanna and I went to Marilyn's memorial service at All Souls UU Church tonight and I listened intently to all who spoke of their memories of Marilyn.

Here are my comments:

Marilyn was a fan. No matter what you were doing or what you were involved in, she was supportive of you and behind your efforts. I was involved in the Heretics, the Church Softball Team. Marilyn was always there, cheering us on and keeping score, play by play, win or lose.
I feel Marilyn was a-political....

Marilyn Blum was a unique individual, whom I had deep respect for. She showed fierce individualism, without pretense. One knew who she was, from one's initial conversation with her. One does not find too many people in life who exemplify that characteristic. I value having known her--yes, really known her.

On behalf of the Memorial Hospital Foundation Board of Directors and Staff, I would like to express our sincere condolences to the Blum Families, upon Marilyn's passing. It is especially hard for us to say good-bye to one of our valued and dedicated Memorial family members, but know that our thoughts are with Blum family and friends. Her kind smile and thoughtfulness to others will live on through the people's lives she touched. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we hope you find...

Lynn was a special, wonderful person!! I have known her for forty four years. I met her in Elmhurst through Girl Scouting, then continued our friendship when she moved to Wausau where I had moved to another position in Girl Scouting. She was a joy!!

What a great spirit! Marilyn will be missed in so many ways. Really love the photo you selected for the obituary.

I had the good fortune to work with Marilyn on some political issues in the '80's and always enjoyed her smile and sense of humor. My condolences to her family and friends-I know she will be missed.
