Dear Laurie, Andrea and Lisa ,
Sincerest sympathy in the loss of your mom,
Marilyn and I trained together and as new nurses in the 70″s we had lots of laughs about where our future would take us. Then
She got married and had you girls, and was so very proud of those precious grandchildren she adored.Sending lots love and Prayers

I am so sad to hear of Marilyn’s passing. We are distantly related. Our Dads were cousins. I did get to know Marilyn better when we attended our nursing program together. We graduated in 1977. I moved to Alberta in 1981 and mostly lost track. But our mother’s were good friends and saw each other every week. Marilyn was a very nice lady. Very kind and know she will be missed. my condolences to her entire family.
Sorry to hear of Marylin passing. My brother Bobby called to let me know. My prayers are with you and your family.
My condolences to the family. We grew up in South Bar also.. Every one knew every one. Marilyn is at peace.
Helen Richardson, now last name Cole
