Because of her love and belief, she made such a positive impact on all those she knew that she left this world a better place because of it. Because of her love and devotion, Marilyn's spirit will continue to live on through all those who loved her.
Marilyn was known and loved for her cooking and baking skills' Her famous chocolate and vanilla cupcakes were requested almost daily! They were that delicious! If she didn't show up with her cupcakes people were very disappointed! Her fried chicken, roast, green beans and potatoes, and chicken and dumplings were everyone's favorite. She loved to make her children and their spouses their favorite meals on their birthdays as a special treat! She was an amazing woman and her children will be forever grateful for her love.
Marilyn loved playing bingo and card games! She loved listening to her Cincinnati Reds! Win or lose she was a fan! Later in life, she became quite the crafter! Marilyn was one of the hardest-working women you would ever know! She leaves behind a legacy of love. Our wish for all is that you find happiness in your heart when you think of her.
