Kevin and all the family: I have wonderful and fun memories of your mom...from when we lived next door in Evanston in the late 50's to the annual summer visits to Shorewood. She was fun, cool, active, intersting and loved my brother Bill and me like we were her onw kids. Bill and I are so lucky she was a big part of our lives in our early and teen years. A beautiful lady!

Dear Fetherston family, I have many wonderful memories of Marynell. She was completely her own person. She had graceful discipline. She allowed herself to be smart and fun at the same time. Marynell always treated me with respect and genuine interest. I was always in awe of her. My deepest condolences to her dear family. I know how you loved her and always will.
