Marilyn was my co;usin and we lost touch when I moved away. She was a as sweet as could be and I hope to see her in heaven one day!!

Marilyn was the finest mother-in-law a wife could have. I remember thanking her for raising John to be such a great human being. Family was everything to her. Marilyn was caring, thoughtful and loving as a daughter, sister, wife, mom, aunt, grandma, cousin and friend. John and Mike are wonderful representations of the love of family shared by Marilyn and Butch. I will miss her terribly and am honored to have known her so well.
