Marilyn was my over-the-fence gardening buddy. She and I would share seeds and plants in the spring and summer and discuss our gardening triumphs and woes. She liked going to the Cheer Senior Center and playing prize bingo with friends. Her love of animals was evident. I’ll really miss her. Sending condolences to her family and friends.
