Marilyn and I roomed together at Concordia Seward. She was a special person, thoughtful and happy. I was blessed to know her.
I only know her from 4 seasons but was a former student of Mr Baack. As you taught us may God bring you peace knowing she’s in a better place and praise the lord for the many years you were blessed to have her.
I worked with Marilyn at Sears in the women’s department for about 2 years when I was about 17. I loved working with her. She always had a listening ear and encouraging words for me.
Larry, My sincere sympathy to you and your family.Nancy Whipker
