| The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ March 12, 2008, p. A10. Our beautiful Marilyne Ruth Holdren Uhlmann-Howland passed way after more than a year of battling with ovarian cancer. As a teenager in Mesa, she was the first Arizona Junior Maid of Cotton, Mesa Rawhide Roundup Queen, Salad Bowl (now Fiesta Bowl) Queen and first woman President of Scottsdale Board of Realtors. She was a three-year member of the National Honor Society at Mesa High School, graduating in 3 years. She was voted prettiest girl and won the JC Penny State Sewing Contest for her age group in 1949. Her words, “I was born a real estate broker,” placed her with Russ Lyon Realty and her own firm, Uhlmann International Real Estate and Development, which is widely known in real estate circles. She was often referred to as “Scottsdale’s Elizabeth Taylor.” Sharing a love for animals with husband Richard Howland, they had numerous pets and raised miniature horses and Missouri Fox Trotters on their Wickenburg ranch “Quail Ridge”. Her very special loves were her tiny Maltese “Christmas” and her trotter gelding “Echo.” She is survived by her husband Richard Howland; her sister Pat Howard; twin sons Kent and Brent Meldrum; step-daughter Luanne Passmore and granddaughter Amber Passmore; son-in-law Randy Passmore and grandson Kevin Passmore and many others whom she loved. Cryptside services will be held 1 p.m. today (Wednesday, March 12) at the Uhlmann Family Crypt at Green Acres Mausoleum, 401 N. Hayden Road in Scottsdale, Ariz. An additional memorial service will be held 11 a.m. Saturday (March 15) at the Show Low Stake Center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1401 W. Deuce of Clubs in Show Low, Arizona. Owens Mortuary of Show Low handled the arrangements.
