Marilyn lived a rich & full life, had many experiences and loved to entertain with those stories. She loved meeting & being with people, to hear about and recall their stories; she loved to entertain, putting on ‘the Ritz’ with seemingly great ease; she was feisty and fabulous and had an ability to make people feel welcome and at home. She was a friend to many, who would remember her positive outlook (even through hard times), her generosity & kindness. Golfing may have been put in her path, but for many years, it gave her a social place to shine. She was grateful for the joys and memories shared with friends near & far, present & passed.

Marilyn was quite simply full of grace and was a class act!! She was a chic & elegant fire cracker, who carried herself with fashionable flair and brightened every where she went with her smart style & sassy self.

Muzzie loved her family so much and we honor that love each time we remember her.

In lieu of flowers or donations, please surprise someone with a random act of kindness or generosity & know that Marilyn is smiling. Look out Heaven; here she comes!
