I was so sorry to learn today that Marilyn had passed away. We worked together at Trainee/Student MIPLO and she took care of my babies at The CDC. She was a kind and thoughtful person who loved her family dearly. And she was so proud of her kids. She will truly be missed. My prayers to the family.

Mrs Kelly, we work together for 18 years, and you were a very quite person, but when she spoke about someone, she was real. She always called me Mrs. America, I loved hearing her called me that it made me feel very special. Her favorite word at CDC when she's going on lunch or leaving for the day. I am going to my address!!! You will truelly be missed by friends of CDC.
