So incredibly sorry for Marilyn’s family. Her father Gene Johnson was one of my older brothers, and one of my favorites.
So sorry for your loss she was a wonderful woman and a good friend she will be greatly missed
So very sorry for your loss. Marilyn will be missed by so many. Marilyn was generous in her kindness. She would supply rides to rug hooking events for her friends. We had a great time together. Many will have great memories of Marilyn and miss her warm smile.
So sorry for your loss, I knew Marilyn through our rug Hooking group. She was a lovely woman. She will be missed.
Marilyn was a wonderful person and a terrific mother. My family and hers spent many great weekends camping together. Prayers for Greg and Kim.
I met Marilyn at rughooking. ..her work was beautiful and I appreciated her help and advice to me as I was learning how to rughook.
Dearest Kim, Greg & Grandchildren. It’s with a heavy heart that we write to you today. Your Mom loved you all so much and was so very proud of you. Marilyn has been a good friend for the better part of 50 years. Her strength, support and talent in her quilting and rug hooking are much to be admired. It’s hard to believe there will be no more lunches in Amish Country or long phone calls. I hope you can find comfort in knowing she is happy in heaven with Tom and Mike. We will miss her.
