My memories of Mom will always be how much she loved her children. She helped me through some very rough times when my husband Jack was diagnosed with his brain tumor, she was always there for me to listen or to lend a shoulder to cry on. Always willing to lend a hand with our children, or any other help we needed as a family. She accepted my children as her own grandchildren, such a giving heart. She will be sadly missed by me, she touched my life in so many ways. Even though I am far away my thoughts and prayers are with each of our family, I love you all.

I m so sorry for your loss of your mom, Deann. I still remember meeting her when we were at Grand Rapids Christian High together.

As a haistylist in Standale for many years, Marilyn and I have shared lots of thoughts and emotions. After closing my salon, Marilyn would come to my house to have her hair done until I moved away from the area. We had much time to get to know each other and I found her to be a genuine, caring person. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I have only met her at a Christmas party where my wife and I sat next to her and her husband Harv. She was such a fun loving person and the evening went by as a good time with them both. Our sympathys to the Family.

Marilyn was my mother and father-in-laws neighbor for awhile on 24th avenue in Marne. I got to visit with her once in awhile when she would come over or already be there when we would come to visit and I remember her as always never a loss for words and always pleasant. She was a very nice person who was a great neighbor to my in-laws, she truly will be missed. Our very deepest sympathy to her family.
