I am so sorry and sad to hear of Marilyn’s passing. She was a terrific friend who I had the pleasure and privilege of knowing her and working with her during her most successful tenure at Cessna and especially with her throughout her management of the Citation Special Olympics Airlift. She was amazing. Dick Koenig
Dear Family,
May you take comfort in the memories of a beautiful life.

We met Marilyn when we were moving in last month. She gave a little insight on Reflection Ridge and its community.
Judy, my wife, had hydrocephalus and had recently undergone an operation to have a shunt put in. Marilyn told us that her deceased husband had also had hydrocephalus and a shunt. We sometimes sat at the same table at dinner time and conversed. I learned she worked for Cessna Aircraft around the same time I did (from 1970-1986), although we do not remember meeting each other during that time.
We both thought Marilyn had a wonderful personality and looked much younger than her age. She said she had just celebrated her 82nd birthday!
