Marilyn Hietala

I met Marilyn working at AIG. She and I sat next to each other for several years. She was the sweetest woman. I loved to hear her talk about her experiences. She would often talk about curling which I had no idea what that was until I met her. She will be missed by many.

Curling introduced Marilyn and Bob into our lives (Al and Vicki Gregonis) and friendship beyond the sport deepened over several years. We visited outside curling with many good evenings of food, libation and laughter. Marilyn and I shared many recipes and enjoyed kitchen time. We also attended Mass together when visiting Albany and/or Lunenburg. I still use the Albany Curling Club glasses and think of Marilyn, Bob and our many curling friends. How lucky we are to have met such nice and...

I am so saddened to hear of Marilyn's passing. She was the sweetest co-worker when we worked at AIG. Marilyn always had a smile on her face and never once complained. Not a mean bone in her body. We lost touch over the years, but it was always nice running into her at our local grocery store and seeing that big beautiful smile of hers. My deepest condolences to her family and friends, especially at the Albany Curling Club.

Marilyn was the first person I met when I joined the curling club. She was so warm, friendly, and inviting. A wonderful person and a great ambassador for curling, she will be greatly missed by many.
