Marilyn loved to laugh. She will be remembered for her witty humour and one liners. Marilyn loved to work. She enjoyed every job that she ever had and shared fond memories of her work life. Even when she was at home she would keep busy. She kept her house clean and tidy. She was a fantastic knitter and crocheter and did many projects over her long life. She made afghans, hats, scarves, and little sweaters for her grandkids. Marilyn was a wonderful gardener. She is remembered by grandkids tending to her garden, shelling peas and picking out the perfect cucumbers for pickles. She was an excellent canner and made great pickles and relishes. Marilyn loved birds. Among her favorites were hummingbirds and jenny wrens.

Marilyn was a believer in Jesus. He was her Saviour and Lord. It gives family great peace to know that Marilyn is in heaven and free of earthly suffering and pain. Her favorite verse was this: “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am your God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10
