Marilyn was a dedicated volunteer for North Memorial Auxiliary and sixteen years on the inpatient Hospice unit until it closed. She was a member of the Eastern Star, Robbinsdale Chapter #238.

Marilyn was excited to be one of the first residents to move into Trillium Woods on July 9th 2015, where she loved everything about her new home and community. Marilyn will be remembered for her kindness. She was a caring person who was always gracious, humble, reliable, strong, smart, and generous. Our hearts are broken, but we find comfort in our many cherished memories shared throughout Marilyn’s long life. Marilyn enjoyed good health and independence until the last six weeks of her life, for which she was always grateful.

The family would like to thank North Memorial Hospice for the compassionate care they provided to Marilyn and her family during this difficult time.
