Miss Marilyn will always be in my thoughts. She took hold of my heart the moment I was introduced. Many smiles and laughter shared with her. Amazing spirit. Best wish's to family.

My sincerest condolences to the family.
Marilyn was a very classy lady. I have fond memories of her at the Miss Elgin department while working there when I was in high school. She was also the mother of my classmate and friend Kathee Davis.

My sincerest condolences to Kathee, Beth and the rest of Marilyn's family.
I met Marilyn two years ago. What I'll remember most was her graciousness, hospitality and inherent sense of courtesy - Marilyn always made sure everyone was acknowledged and taken care of. Can I do anything for you? she would always ask. Marilyn was full of good humor and loved to laugh.
I'll remember her love of music and dance, particularly tap. A co-worker once lent a video of her daughter's tap dance recital - featuring kids from toddler age to 18, in sequins and tap shoes! Marilyn never took her eyes off the screen. She'd tap her toes, bob her head, rap fingers on her purse, and every so often she'd say under her breath, Point your toes, girls.
