    I knew Marilyn through AAUW. We belonged to Book Club and for a while, the Schoolmarms. She was supportive of both of these groups as well as the GRAB/AAUW program Women Helping Girls. I also visited her a few times when I was in Richmond to visit my son Stephen and his family. She was a gracious and thoughtful woman and dedicated to her faith. I’ve thought of her often and I will miss her but remember her in my prayers.

    Ann, Robbie, Michael, We were very sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. I wish we would have known of the service so we could have attended. We have many fond memories of your Mother and Father socially and through business many years ago. She was a lovely, spirited woman. May you find comfort in the many memories of her.

    Dear Mike, Nancy and Family,

    So sorry for your loss.

    May you always remember
    when the shadows fall
    You do not walk alone.

    May the light of heaven shine on all of you.
