Marilyn taught me how to be a pastor. I learned from her compassion. I learned pastoral care. I was always a bit in awe for her ability to lead a congregation through her preaching and pastoral presence. Marilyn was a gift from God. Thank you, God!

Marilyn was Park Church and it was never quite the same once she left for Eden. Her middle initial should be C for Compassion. She always had that beautiful smile on her face and she led her congregation with such style and grace. When I think of her, my heart smiles! God Bless you, Marilyn.

I'm very sorry to hear that Marylin has passed away. She was a very special person to me when I was young. During her time at Park Church she impacted the lives of thousands of people in a very positive manner. Condolences to her family and loved ones

45 years ago Dr. Stavenger married us in the Chapel of UCC - Toledo. She noticed we had no altar flowers in the Chapel so she brought flowers from the main church to the chapel for our wedding. We have never forgotten her kindness. God Bless her!
