Marilyn Boczulak "Marigold" Rogers

I had the pleasure of working with Marilyn at Brentwood when I started at AISD. She was so kind and supportive. She was such a big help to me as it was my first experience as a speech therapist in schools. I enjoyed our many talks and the friendship we shared. She was always so positive and always had a smile! I remember her very neat penmanship! I´m sorry was unable to attend her celebration of life. My condolences to Steve, who she often talked about, and all her family.

I met Marilyn at Impact Austin, an organization where we both enjoyed volunteering to review community grant proposals for many years. She was a valued member and friend for so many reasons, but especially her insightful critiques and the humor she brought to all of our meetings. My condolences to Steve and all of Marilyn's family and friends. With love, Fay

Marilyn was essentially my sister. She influenced me in so many ways. I met her when Steve brought her to our house from college. I was 17 at the time. That next year I joined them at U of I, where we continued to share our "coming of age" years together. Tom and Rick joined us there for college too. What I love most about her is her laugh, and her true spirit of humor and wacko-ness! Gosh we had fun! Years later, I had my children Travis and Erin create a 50 shape with their bodies for a...

Marilyn and I were both assigned to the same elementary school in Austin for one year. We shared a room and discussed cases and helped each other. Marilyn entrusted me to drive the van she and Steve had bought that had a wheel chair lift. I would go to her house and get behind the wheel and she and I would head to our monthly speech therapy meetings at Rosedale. Marilyn complimented me on my driving which made me feel more at ease driving such a special cargo. Sometimes after our meetings, we...

I knew Marilyn through my dad, Rob Dye, who worked with Steve for many years. Marilyn and I shared the same birthday (December 4th) and she sent the kindest birthday cards for her birthday twin every year since I was a young child. She was an incredibly thoughtful and special lady who clearly touched a great deal of people throughout her life-may her memory live through all of us.

Marilyn introduced herself to me when I fist began teaching at Brentwood. She was generous with her knowledge and support as I learned the ropes. I felt "safe" with Marilyn on my side.

It is very beautiful to see the outpouring of love here. Steve and I were "work brothers" for almost 38 years at NI, and knowing Marilyn through that time was a privilege. She was truly one of the sweetest persons I´ve ever known. I loved that Marilyn had my daughter, Avila, on her extensive birthday card list. The two of them shared a December 4 birth date and Marilyn never failed to to send a card and nice note, and Steve and Marilyn were so generous to shout out and celebrate Avila´s...

I always loved to hear Marilyn was coming to Wisconsin during the summers. Steve too (: Always fun times, whether meeting for a party somewhere or just sitting on the deck with a glass of wine, looking at the beautiful view. She was a wonderful, kind, strong lady and we will miss her...Always full of fun and mischief..
