I remember Marilyn as not only a strong woman of God, but one of the funniest and most down-to-earth people I’ve ever met. She touched my life many years ago by just taking time to make sure I was ok, since I was new at the church. I could always count on the naked truth from her. My deepest condolence to her family and closest friends.
