I knew Marilyn from living next to her as a child. My sister Kate and I loved spending time with all the Mertells. She was the baby. It is a great loss to everyone that knew her. My condolences are with her two remaining sisters and all her extended family. Betty Smith Brick

I remember Aunt Marylin so fondly. She was the fashionista I aspired to be. It is amazing that I had a dream about her just before she died, even after not seeing her for so may year.
