Marlyn was also my Lincoln High School classmate from the class of 1968. My lasting memories of Marilyn are when we would meet by chance over the years at the downtown public library.  Marilyn would always be researching something for her various studies. During those chance meetings I would enjoy listening to her tales of her world travels. 

Marilyn,  I loved our chance meetings because you were always smiling and had a happy spirit. Rest In Peace dear Marilyn. God bless your soul.

Love, Kitty

Remembering you, my dearest friend, MARILYN, as a part of my life's journey. Remembering your beautiful vocals; your love of good food; your love for your companion dogs; the caring for your now deceased mother and aunt even when you needed care; your worldwide performances; your intellect in pursuing academic graduate degrees; your sensitivity for those in need; and most of all, remembering YOUR ALWAYS BEING THE CARING FRIEND FOR ME. The love is with you. You are safe in God's arms. 

To my Lincoln High School classmate, Marilyn. May you rest in peace singing in God's holy choir. 


Marilyn was an amazing saxophonist, during our time together in the LHS marching and concert bands. Even back then Marilyn was a beautiful person, always kind and patient.
I know she will be greatly missed by all who interacted with her in her life.
My deepest sympathy and prayers of comfort.

Sincerely,
Hattie Wyatt


Condolences to the family of Marilyn.
I graduate with Marilyn in 1968 and had the opportunity to play and march beside her in the great Lincoln High School Band under the leadership of Mr. Tucker.
Marilyn and I would run into each other while shopping  and spend time talking and laughing about the good old days. She was a music genius and will be missed.

I've known Marilyn since second grade.  We were classmates at Charles Rice Elementary School.  Marilyn was a very talented, funny & friendly person.  For several years, I always looked forward to seeing her perform carols at NorthPark Shopping Center during the Christmas holidays.  She loved singing and playing the piano.  May she be remembered fondly by all, and may her soul now rest in eternal peace.

From the 8th grade through the twelfth grade, I have such great memories of my friendship with Marilyn.  She was so talented and her voice was rich with power.  She was definitely ahead of her time!

 May God bless your soul and spirit and bring peace and comfort to your family.

So sorry to hear about my 1968 Lincoln High School classmate.  Marilyn was so talented and probably very much before the time when black women were able to soar and reach their potential. Rest In Peace dear classmate-everyone be thankful for each day God gives you-try to live in a manner pleasing to God and help someone else in life-it really takes a village
