Her compassion for others, along with her selfless nature, were evident in the way she tried to live her life. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

    Teresa and family, so sorry to hear about your mother. I loved working with her at Branch’s and talking with her about our grandchildren. If I wasn’t so far away I would love to attend the celebration of her life, but I will be there in prayers and thoughts.

    Marilyn was such a sweet, kind person.She always made you feel so special.
    She loved teaching the 5th grade Sunday School class at Branch’s. My daughter’s were blessed to have her as a teacher. Long after they graduated she would still ask about them. I have given her a gold candle because her heart was made of gold. She will always remain in my memory for her kind sweet nature. May God bless her girls and there families.
