I am so so sorry to hear Marilyn has passed. I had the pleasure of working with her at Napa in Farmer City for many years. I loved hearing her bowling stories and seeing her ride her mopeds around town. She was always wonderful to me and my family. Prayers to all her family and friends. She will be missed. :(
