I know we haven't seen one another as often these later years but I remember when the children were younger & we were together a lot.  I remember one Thanksgiving dinner at her home.  Delicious to say the least!!  May she rest in peace now, and I'm sure she will have everyone laughing up there also. Love you...

I spent two years as Marilyn's caregiver as well as knowing her since I was a little girl. She was a great woman with lots of humor and could always make you laugh. Will miss hearing all of her stories. May she rest with our lord and be in peace, until we meet again in heaven. You will be missed.

Marilyn was a wonderful person and a wonderful Mother in law to me. I have many memories of that "patented" laugh and that quick witted sense of humor. Her work here is done and she has been called home to be with her Lord. She will certainly be missed. May God bless her soul.

Miss you and Love you very much Grandma. Forever you will be in my heart.

Marilyn you are forever in our hearts,and will never be forgotten. We will always remeber your kindness,your laugh, and of course your spunk!!You were always a great person too be around!You will be missed dearly.

Marilyn will be missed. She was a loving, caring person.
  We will see you again someday. Just know she is with our Father in heaven and she is whole again and in no more pain. You will not be forgotten

Thank Goodness we know she went straight to the light. Thank-You Peppi's Hospice for the beautiful garden and fountain outside her room-My mom would have (and she would say, "if it was someone else there"), would have talked about that for days.

From her Memorium at westtucsonmentalhealth.com

Expect some tiny humorous moments at this funeral. That was what my mother wanted.
In her younger days, she grew the most beautiful roses and made the flakiest pie crust on the planet. She had careers as a dental assistant, line cook supervisor at Sir George's buffet here in Tucson. She will be remembered for “that laugh” and how her humor was always “on” no matter what was in discussion. She was open-minded and despised any type of racism or violence towards anyone.  Most of all, she was determined to have her funeral pre-planned so “no one has to do anything”. She did just that. She even paid for the overtime she knew it would cost to have the staff at South Lawn open the door for her services on a Sunday, her favorite day of the week. She loved our Lord God and will be buried with a hand-made red glass cross, a beautiful pink brocade 2-piece suit and her purple Bible.
