I just came across this announcement and want to add my memory of her in the summer of 1963 as we participated in Dr. Peter Manniche's International Vacation Courses in Scandinavia, she sponsored by Margaret Scatterhood. I remember Marilyn as friendly, humorous, always ready for adventure and she believed she would be an MD. The world is grateful that she did. Brooks Post Mitchell

It's time again to remember with fondness this remarkable woman. Hope the warm thoughts continue to comfort her family.

I know it doesn't get any easier for the family on this anniversary, but hopefully, warm thoughts from friends will help smooth some of the rough edges.

That big smile and warm personality will always live. Enjoy your heavenly home Sister Marilyn. Peace, joy & blessings to the family.

I'll always remember such an unforgettable person.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We still love you and will miss you always.

I find it hard to believe that Marilyn is no longer on this earth.She was a beautiful person. As a child, I admired and tried to emulate her often. She was kind, loving, smart,talented and humble. Her spirit was that of as angel. I am blessed to have known her.

Remembering Marilyn s legacy. Continued condolences to the family.
