    I met Marilyn over 40 years ago when we were both store managers for Montgomery Ward when we attended meetings together and talked often on the phone. Although we lost touch over the years I still remember her as a delight to be around and consider her as a friend. She loved her family dearly and you have my deepest sympathy.

    Please accept my sympathy at the passing of Marilyn. I know she must be in a better place, but we have missed her for a long time already. I, personally, and the Civic Center employees when Marilyn was there, truly mourn her last years and now her passing.
