Marilyn Collard Obituary
COLLARD, Marilyn
Marilyn was born in Hiawatha, UT, on Feb. 9, 1923, and passed away in Roseville, CA, on March 10, 2006. Marilyn was loved so deeply by all who knew her. She had a quiet, warm and gentle strength along with a delightful sense of humor and carried her sorrows with a grace we so admired. She was preceded in death by her son Brent, her daughter Nancy, her granddaughter Jenna Stephenson and her brother Robert Glen Mackenzie. She is survived by her daughter Barbara Stephenson, her sister Barbara Cooper, her brother Neil Mackenzie, granddaughter Lisa Stephenson and Julie Emch, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Services will be held at East Lawn Memorial on Thursday, March 16, at 2:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Friends for Survival, P.O. BOX 214463, Sacramento, CA, 95821
