Marilyn M. Taus

Marilyn was my Art Professor for about 2 years. She was one of those people that left a deep impression in your soul. She was an inspirer, a nurturer, and one of the most dignified women I'd ever met. She loved life....anyone could see it. She will be deeply missed, but remembered always.

Leona, Harriet and family,

I just wanted to let you know how sorry John and I are for your loss. We wish we could have been at Marilyn's memorial service, but were out of town.

I have such sweet memories of Marilyn that stretch back to college days 20 years ago. Leona & I would go to the Renaissance Festival and Marilyn was overflowing with excitement for the artistic wonders and talents that were being displayed. I also remember going to the Uptown Art Fair on many occasions...

To all the members of Marilyn's family,
My deepest sympathy to all of you over the loss of your beloved, Marilyn.
She will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved her.
As my mother (Darlene Plante and sister (Susan Archer) said, we truly loved having Marilyn babysit us when we were little. And it was fun going through grade school with her and her other sibling. The Taus family has always been great to know.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I just learned of Marilyn's passing. I send my condolences to all of her family. Marilyn was my art teacher at Cambridge Community College. She was warm, witty and so talented. We developed a nice friendship. I attended her art shows, spent afternoons with her in her art studio at home, we had quaint lunches and shared special moments. Rochelle was the light in her heart. Marilyn could take a piece of nature - a canna leaf - and turn it into a fantastic rainbow of deep enriched color. ...

To Marilyn's Family and Friends: I had the great honor of meeting Marilyn at the hospital where she received treatment and was always so happy to see her. Her sunny demeanor and smile were a welcome treat during hectic days. We loved to talk about her art. My husband recently began sculpting and Marilyn had many words of encouragement and wisdom for him. I'm thankful for her kindness and generosity of spirit, sad that we won't be sharing our love of sculpting again, but so happy to have met...

Dear Kenny, Harriet, family and friends of Marilyn,
I mourn the loss of our dear, dear friend Marilyn.
She lived life with a grace and internal purpose that encompassed us all with her attention and interest in each of us. Even when faced with severe challenge, she rarely complained and managed to look and act as if nothing was wrong. This was her personality and toughness, an example of how to live and die. She plainly spoke of her illness when asked, but delivered bad news in way...

Dear Harriet and all who loved Marilyn,
My heart goes out to all of you, and you are all in my prayers that the Lord Jesus give you strength in your suffering. I've read all the entries and I agree with all of the beautiful descriptions of Marilyn. I haven't seen her for years but her special sweetness remains a vivid memory. I picture her in heaven with her Dad, where now there is a full understanding of each other and a completion of their relationship in ways we cannot achieve in this...

Dearest Harriet, Galye, Nancy, Leona, .....
I remember Marilyn way back when she babysat my sisters and I. She was the greatest sitter: loving, kind, gentle, creative and most of all FUN! We loved it if she was coming to our house to look after us. As we grew we saw her less and less. I enjoyed seeing her artistic endevers blossom and grow. She was truely a gift from God. We were blessed to have her touch our lives... in whatever capacity. I pray for you all in this most difficult...

Dear Janet and family, My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. She was a fighter and fought the good fight.
