Only knew Marilyn for about three years at our place of employment, back in the early 80’s, but I just wanted the family to know of all the people that worked at that company Marilyn was the kindest person to me as anyone and I never forgot it. My Condolences to the family.
The first time I met .Marilyn was probably in 1944 when her mother ran over to my Aunt .Margaret .Cooper’s home with Marikyn in tow, frantic that she had head lice. Later we became friends in HS being in SubDeb Club and sharing many sleeping parties with other classmates. She was a special person and will be missed.
