She was born on January 25th, 1976 and is survived by her mother Barbara, father Bill, and brother Tony. Marilyn was a beautiful, talented, kind, and sensitive person who loved animals.

She possessed both creativity and talent in this area. Today, many of her works, which range from paintings to embroidery can be seen proudly displayed in the homes of her family and friends. Marilyn touched many people throughout her life. She was loved greatly while she was with us and will be missed greatly now that she has passed on. Private funeral services will be held on Monday, April 7th. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Arizona Humane Society (1521 W. Dobbins, Phx., AZ 85041, attn Joan Lipt).
