Marilyn was a beautiful

soul both inside and out

to the many people she

touched. She loved and

enjoyed spending time

with her family, especial-

ly her granddaughter Kay-

la, who then blessed her

with two rambunctious

and precious

great-grandsons, Bryson

and Konnor, who brought

her so much joy.

She also cherished and

enjoyed spending time

with the many wonderful

and close friends she had,

the casino trips made,

bingo, the card playing

and the lunch dates, it all

meant so much to her.
