Like so many of you, I will miss this lady. Since I was a brat in kindergarten, Marilyn seemed to always be in my world. I was blessed to know the Duncan family all my life and shared many happy times with them. Marilyn was always the fun Mom as we were growing up. I was thinking about when she thought my outfit needed something in Mexico so she put her large orange beads around my neck and said, there now that looks way better! So I wore those beads with pride! Marilyn was very special to me and I will have a place in my heart all for her forever.

Met Marilyn through Pam and Ernie playing softball. She would come and watch us play in the hot summer months and bundle up to watch us in the winter. She even attended our away tournaments in Las Vegas, Oregon and Reno. She liked to gamble and was fun to hang out with at the casinos. We will miss not seeing her in the stands but we know she will be watching down on us cheering us on. Rest In Peace Marilyn❤
