Oh, SO many fond childhood memories of our friends the McKinney family growing up. We were only about three blocks apart - I still think of Marylin, Chuck and Jere every time I drive by the brick house. I so admired Marylin´s singing abilities in the Billings Symphony Chorale where she had the rare ability of perfect pitch. Warmest Conolences.

Jere, what a beautifully lived life your mom lived. She was a kind and gentle woman, but strong and passionate about family, faith, and giving. She was a good friend to my mother, and she and Chuck were responsible for introducing my parents to their long-time square dance friends. I will never forget her beautiful rendition of "Our Father" at my wedding and she even gave me a wedding shower. Our parents are at that big square dance in the sky now. Allamande left and do-si-do. Wishing you comfort and peace.

I am sad to hear of Marilyn´s passing. I lived in her and Chucks rental across from their beautiful home. I also worked with Her at the Giftshop at Billings Deaconess . She was a soft spoken woman and I admired her work ethic as a volunteer.
