Marilyn loved flowers, animals and her themed birthday parties. She was an avid reader of current events but also enjoyed murder mysteries and English historical novels. She was a big University of Illinois basketball fan and loved the Cubbies. As a person, Marilyn was a grace-filled individual who gave unconditional love to those around her.
