Charles, I just received the sad news this afternoon from our mutual friends Dennis and Brenda. Anyone that ever was fortunate enough to have known Marilyn will remember her joy of life.
Six years ago you came to offer your comfort when James Lee died suddenly, so I know friends sharing their compassion when our hearts are broken isn’t forgotten. I’m so sorry. Sincerely, Arlene

Sympathy
We were saddened to hear of Marilyn passing away. She was a ray of sunshine and lit up a room with her bubbling chatter and smiles. Several years ago, our mutual friend, Pat, was in her final days of fighting cancer and Marilyn left her family and drove to Front Royal to be with Pat and help care for her until she passed.
Charles and family, we know how much you will miss Marilyn and please know you have our deepest sympathy.
Sending my condolences. Mrs. Wright and I worked together at South Hill Elementary School.
Forever in our hearts!
I can’t think of anyone that deserves heaven more than Marilyn. She was a light in this world and she let it shine every day. Our deepest sympathy for Charles, Andrew and family, Stuart and family, and Patrick. Our love and prayers are with you!

I am so saddened to hear about the passing of Marilyn. She was a true friend and mentor to me when we taught together at South Hill Elementary. I’ll never forget her love for “her boys” (both her husband and sons), her infectious laugh, her Christmas sweaters (she wore a different one every day in December), and so much more. My life was blessed to have known her. Sending my love and deepest sympathy to her family.
