Marilyn has been my friend for over 30 plus years. We couldnt put a clear date on that one. Marilyn came to me at a hair salon and we became fast friends. We had so much in common that our conversations often lasted longer than usual appointments! We loved baking, crafting, camping and farm life stories, to name a few. I will always remember that great smile and will miss her hugs most of all. She loved her God, her family, her church and her dogs and it comforts me to know she is with Clint and forever at peace.

Hi Ramona, I used to come to your house for sewing— think was through 4-H? But remember your mom as a warm smiling face! So sorry for your loss!

Clint and Marilyn were in our small group at New Covenant Community Church back when small groups were just emerging at the church. We always appreciated her and Clint’s wisdom and insight. We grieve with the family and our hearts go out especially to Jim and Ramona. We also rejoice with them as Marilyn is now with her Father in heaven, reunited with Clint.
