Marilyn is survived by her husband of 37 years, Robert, daughter Hannah and son Zachary; and her cat Zorro.  Coming from a family of nine, and Robert a family of five, Marilyn had many brother and sister in-laws, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Marilyn was a stay-at-home Mom, and she loved her family deeply; she literally gave her life to her family’s best interest. She was always there for Hannah, Zak and Bob. Marilyn enjoyed the serenity of her back yard’s park-like setting, helping with the landscape or her favorite book; such as a passage from Dr. David Jeremiah. She was also very supportive to help and support local causes, whether it be sewing clothes for the needy, various donations to the thrift shops, Scouting food drives, or Christian outreach programs, of which was the core principle in life; Marilyn was a devout Christian.
