Marilyn had a knack for making everyone feel welcome, whether you were family, friend, or just someone passing by. She was the type of person who could brighten a room with a smile, ease your worries with a laugh, and, if needed, offer advice-whether you asked for it or not (and let's be honest, you probably didn't have a choice).

Marilyn is survived by her Husband Bob Quirk, Her five children Corey & Alex Parrish of Jacksonville Florida, Zach Parrish of Pensacola, Florida, Jesse, Carrie, and Shelbie Quirk of the home. She also leaves behind five grandchildren, Jay, Izzy, Athena, Charlotte, and Connor Parrish (Jacksonville, Florida), and her sister Cheryl Bush of Harrisonville, Missouri.

A celebration of her life will be held on November 14th, from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm at Trinity Presbyterian Church, located at 1400 W Sheley Rd, Independence, MO. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in her memory to a substance abuse center or Women's Employment Network.

Marilyn will be dearly missed by all who knew her, but her legacy of love, kindness, and laughter will continue to live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
