I am so sorry for your loss my Garnsey neighbors.
Marilyn was a beautiful and generous lady. We were very
fortunate to have had she and Ray for neighbors. It took infinite
patience for those two to teach Bill & I double-deck pinochle, thank
heaven for their good sense of humor.
Blessings to all the family.
Just noticed MarilynI ‘s obituary shuffling thru a few older papers. Sorry I didn’t know this sooner. I had the privilege of knowing and working with Marilyn at GE back in the early 1990’s. She was a great lady and a pleasure to be around and have around. I send the family and friends my condolences for her loss.
