Marilyn Leonard

When I first met Marilyn we immediately bonded over our love of theater and music. She always asked me to sing to her everyday which I gladly did. She made so many friends & we all enjoyed singing together. Her favorites were Somewhere Over the Rainbow, You are My Sunshine, and What a Wonderful World. I will miss her contagious smile and her sweet disposition. May she rest in peace and may she continue to sing with the angels.

When I first met Marilyn she was instantly drawn to me through our love of theater & music. Her smile was warm & inviting and we instantly bonded. She was always by my side & we always made each other laugh. I will miss her so much

A beautiful person with a beautiful smile!!

Marilyn was a shining soul who lived the heroic Christian virtues of charity and self-sacrifice. She did everything with love, selflessness and generosity. Family gatherings at her home were marked by a spirit of welcome and hospitality. It was obvious she worked very hard to prepare the house for guests and serve delicious, abundant meals. When Marilyn was a guest at our house, she showed the same generosity. She always brought food and was a cheerful helper. However, what most exemplifies Marilyn's Christian virtues is the way she cared for her parents in their need and for Jim's mother Rose at the end of her life. What she did was truly Christ-like. As the sister and brother-in-law of Jim, we express our eternal gratitude and love to Marilyn. It is our prayer that she rest in perpetual peace.

We loved and had fun with Marilyn on her trips to Michigan but always had a hard time finding her seltzer
