I worked with Marilyn at St. Joe Hospital. She was an excellent nurse..Always had a smile. She touched many people’s lives…God bless her family …. ❤️. Maria RN
Marilyn and her family were our delightful neighbors from 1960’s until our parents moved 20 years ago and remain dear friends since that time. My most heartfelt condolences go out to her children and fellow Brentwood friends.
I was a unit secretary on 5N St Joseph Hospital back in the day..I found Marilyn to be the most professional, competent, compassionate, intellligent nurse I’ve ever had the privilege to work with. Always calm and always in control. Very dignified, but also very witty with an absolute hilarious sense of humor. Three specific incidents that come to mind and I have to laugh out loud every time I think of them.
I have to say I went on to become an RN but I could never emulate all the traits I so admired in her.
My heart goes out to the family and friends who mourn her passing. She was a very special person.
We will all have fond memories of the laughter and love…
With deepest sympathy.
