Sorry for your loss. Marilyn was such a great person, teacher and cousin's wife. I wish I could be there, but we are in South Carolina. Love to all. Denny and Barb (Noel) Greer.

One of the best teachers I ever had! She set high standards and encouraged students to do their best. Not only did she show interest in students´ lives inside the classroom, but outside, as well. The few times I ran into her after I finished high school, she always greeted me with a smile and showed genuine interest in the various paths my life had taken me. Thankful to have crossed paths with this remarkable lady!
