I remember Marilyn from her McDowell days. She always had a warm smile to greet students and staff. She was truly a lovely person. My condolences to the Strahl family on this huge loss.

Marilyn was a very sweet lady. I worked with Doyle at Arvin’s and met her Abt some of the get togethers. I thought a lot of both of them. I’m so happy that she is in Heaven now.
