Marilyn J. Gallagher

My sympathies to the Family Marilyn was so much fun & always with a smile!

I worked with Mickey @OLV Hosp. she on the floor nursing,myself in the lab.Mickey was a standup gal and a caring nurse. She was one of the nurses who was true to her profession took her work seriously, but boy could she lighten the atmosphere when she got going. I went on days after 10 yrs. of 3-11 and she was one of the people I missed working with. I extend my sympathy to her family and want them to know how well respected she was by her peers at work,not only on the floor but throughout...

For many years, my mother workded the 3-11 shift at OLV hospital. Usually, She wouldn't get home until after midnight, but I remember many nights when I would wait up for her, and then sit at the kitchen table listening to her stories about her day at the hospital.
