Marilyn was a loving caregiver to those in need and had a great love for animals. She also loved to volunteer at the nursing home and cleaned at the church. Marilyn was a very proud grandmother. A wonderful cook and baker, Marilyn's homemade kuchen, apple pie, and breads were some of her greatest creations.
