Marilyn had a zest for life! She was very devoted to her kids and grandkids and never missed an opportunity to be with them. Friendship meant a great deal to her. She never said a bad word about anyone and maintained many friendships from her childhood and her many years of working at the courthouse at 26th and California. In addition to this, she never said no to any offer for fun. She did not think twice about jumping in her car and driving to the next adventure! She found great enjoyment in travel, shopping, casinos, reading, crossword puzzles, tai chi, and enjoyed her bowling team and bridge teams. She was so loved and will be greatly missed!
In lieu of flowers, donations in Marilyn's name to the American Lung Association would be greatly appreciated. https://action.lung.org/site.https://action.lung.org/site/Donation2?
