She retired as a flight attendant from America West Airlines, a career she enjoyed but she especially cared about people and was genuinely interested in their lives and in doing little acts of kindness that elevated their spirits. She made friends easily and everyone who knew her couldnA�??t help but love her. She was every niece and nephewA�??s A�??favorite AuntieA�?i��. Her love of good food is legendary as well as her devotion to A�??Miss PiggyA�?i�� her cat. God truly has another angel.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in MarilynA�??s name to your local animal shelter would surely make her smile and would be appreciated.

A memorial service celebrating her life will be held. Date to be announced.
