Marilyn was a life-long devoted Catholic with a deep devotion to our Blessed Mother. Her faith guided her love and care for her family. She loved spending time with all her family. Whether watching sporting events or teaching them to fish or to golf, she was always smiling when with her family. Marilyn was fun-loving and carried a youthful exuberance and determination that she could accomplish whatever she set her mind to. She would not let age be an excuse for anything. In fact, as an amazingly strong woman, she never had an excuse for anything. She was truly an inspiration to many about how life can be lived in the positive. Marilyn was a charter member of the Belgium Legion Auxiliary holding many leadership positions including president. She was a very active volunteer in her church and community including Christian Mothers and St Vincent De Paul Societies as well as long-time member of Hawthorne Honeys golf league.
