To her family, Marilyn will be remembered as a thoughtful and loving wife, mother, sister, and friend. Whether it was a phone call, a quick text, or planned outings-Marilyn was known for reaching out and trying to bring the family together. She was always so excited and pleased when she got to spend time with her loved ones. Truly, Marilyn was a one-of-a-kind and she was always there for those in need to offer them a listening ear and wise guidance.
Marilyn spent many years working with Burke County School System and prior to that she was known for her work with the preschool children through First Baptist Church.
