A passionate animal lover, Marilyn had several beloved pets throughout her lifetime, each holding a special place in her heart. She had an unwavering amount of compassion for the underdog and passed her kindness down to her family.

Her family will hold many wonderful memories, and she will be missed. 

Do not stand at my grave and weep 

I am not there. I do not sleep. 

I am a thousand winds that blow. 

I am the diamond glints on snow. 

I am the sunlight on ripened grain. 

I am the gentle autumn rain. 

When you awaken in the morning's hush 

I am the swift uplifting rush 

Of quiet birds in circled flight. 

I am the soft stars that shine at night. 

Do not stand at my grave and cry; 

I am not there. I did not die.

Mary Elizabeth Frye

In Accordance with her wishes, cremation has taken place, and no formal service will be held.
