I have known Marilyn for over 30 years, my brother married her right out of high school as high school sweethearts. We were all too choked up to speak at her memorial yesterday, I found it impossible to speak but I wanted to say here that I never once saw Marilyn lose it over anything, she always faced life with grace and dignity. She was very creative and intelligent and when a situations of chaos would present in her life, she would take charge and organize it and fix the problem. She and Marc have three gorgeous talented daughters whom she raised with perfection. Marilyn was selfless, never wanting anything for herself and never wanting to be the center of attention. She was always the person behind the scenes taking care of everyone else. She loved life and she loved her family and she was very proud of her daughters and the women they have become. I will miss her like many many others but I will cherish the memories and continue to watch the blossoming of her daughters and future they will have because of her example and guidance.

Marilyn was one of the most talented women I have ever known. She was a devoted Mother and wife and was much loved by everyone that came in contact with her. Now she is out of pain at last and is with her Lord seeing Him face to face. Marilyn will be so missed not only by her family but also by her many friends and relatives.
Love, Aunt Betty and Chris Reese

Mrs. Reese was an amazing mom to three beautiful girls. I met Mrs. Reese through her daughter Crissy in middle school and quickly learned that she was a very loving, caring, and nurturing mom to not only her daughters, but to all their friends. She embraced everyone who walked into the house with a warm smile and great food. I will never forget the memories I share with her and the Reese family. God now has another Angel to watch over us from above.
