I remember Marilyn very well! She was a very good friend of my grandmother, Mary Adams, She lived across the street from my grandparents on Jackson Street. . Marilyn had the kindest sweetest heart. I can still hear her voice today!☺️ She helped my grandmother through some very tough times after my uncle, Larry Adam’s was killed in a car accident. And when Vicky had passed, the two of them even spent more time together. They each help the other through the most difficult times of their lives. I’ve thought of Marlyn throughout the years and had hoped she was doing well. She was just the nicest lady a person would ever want to meet.♥️🌻🌻♥️
I knew Marilyn. I worked @ the hospital. Marilyn was a sweet and kind soul. She will be greatly missed. Anomious.
I will always remember the day she lost her beloved daughter Vicky, and how she intrusted baby Halley to me that nite, handing her to me to keep safe and loved till morning. I offered to keep the baby so she would have the time for just awhile to try and piece together the loss and heartache with family. I will never forget the tears and loss that evening, marilyn incited. It created a special bond her and Halley that lasted a lifetime
Sorry for your loss sincerely Allen Johnson
