Condolences

    I am so sorry to learn of Marilyn's passing today. I went to high school in Lubbock and Texas Tech with her and was a sister in Kappa Kappa Gamma. Her sunny smile and loving spirit meant so much to everyone she knew! And her sharing of her great gift of song was always generous and thrilling. I am very grateful to have had her friendship in high school and college--and was delighted to be reunited with her through our Kappa Alum group. The last time I saw her was at a Kappa plant sale and I will hold that memory in my heart. She loved her husband and all her family so very much and was a joy to all.
