L. Marilyn Frailey, 84

L. Marilyn Frailey, 84, of Lancaster, passed away Monday, December 20, 2010 at Lancaster General Hospital. Born in Glenarm, KY, she was the daughter of Leonard H. and Hattie G. (Gossett) Thompson. Many of you in KY knew her as “Chunny”. Marilyn was the wife of Robert R. Frailey. They met, and married, when Marilyn was serving on the staff of the United States High Commissioner for Germany and Bob was stationed at the U.S. embassy, Bonn, West Germany. They were married 55 years.

Surviving in addition to her husband Bob are two children, Michael Frailey, husband of Barbara Hall; and Cynthia Ann Keil, wife of William Keil.

A kind, thoughtful soul, Marilyn always asked how she could help; and maintained many bird baths and feeders. One of her nieces wrote: “There won’t be a flower, bird, squirrel, deer or garden landscape in which I won’t remember Marilyn”. She would be pleased to know that you thought of her when helping others or caring for wildlife. Funeral Services will be private and at the convenience of the family.

Dear Mike and Family!
Just learned of your mother’s death last night and we were so shocked!  We had no idea anything had happened or that she was in the hospital.  Please accept our deepest sympathies on your loss!  I will always remember Marilyn for how welcoming she was when we first moved into the neighborhood.  She and Gerry rang our door bell one morning when I was here to clean before we moved in and introduced themselves.  Whenever there seemed to be a new bird or new animal activity in our yard I only had to give Marilyn a call to get all the info!  And we loved hearing all the stories of the past neighborhood picnics!  She and Bob had all the details and the pictures to prove it!
How is your Dad coping with the circumstances?  And is he with you now?  A sudden series of events for him to deal with now. 
We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers!

God Bless,
Linda and John Pecorari

We are so sad about the loss of Aunt Chunny.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

Our love,
Larry and Sherry (Thompson) Darling and David Thompson

Bob, Cindy and Mike and all family,

We are very sad about the passing of Chunny, (Aunt Chunny to most of us) and want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. When I told Mom about her passing, she was very moved and wanted to make sure that we let you all know how much she thought of her sister, and talked about some of the old days in Kentucky. We are all saddened that this day would come, but the occasion allows us to remember the great days that have gone by, particularly in Kentucky and Myrtle Beach.(Can anyone forget the violent Stomach Flu sweeping through a beach house of 30 something people in one week and only a handful never got it, including Aunt Chunny!)

All the Best,
Mike, Debbie, Kalee, Cody and Jane Miller
