She worked for Vida Glenn Real Estate. where life long friendships were fostered.
Marilyn is survived by her daughter Lynn; son Kem; daughter-in-law Terri; and grandchildren, Danielle, Ryan and Rory. She will be fondly remembered by her family for her love, wit, style, and reading assignments. She is, and will be greatly missed by many.
At Marilyn's request, a private family service will be held.

Marilyn was a good neighbor. I enjoyed talking with her, often at our mail boxes located directly across the street from each other. She seemed to be a good and caring person with a nice sense of humor.
