Marilyn was a faithful member of Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church for 83 years, where she was baptized. She attended the Pennsylvania State University and went on to work for the Fayette County Assistance Office for over 30 years, from where she retired. Marilyn enjoyed crocheting baby blankets for the newborns, playing solitaire, being with her family, eating anything sweet, and watching Family Feud. She was the best mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, mother-in-law, aunt and friend that anyone could ask for. She lived her life serving others and her family without fail or complaint. Her beautiful spirit will be sorely missed.
