Marilyn was already working in Documentation at Boehringer Mannheim when I first entered the doors as a “lab rat” in 1980. We continued to work together for many years. She was a delight and always ready to offer a hand.
Thanks, Marilyn, for all you did to help me.

Darlene Brackett says
Our mother’s were sisters and great friends, so our families used to visit almost every year. Marilyn was always a cheerful, delightful cousin. I remember lots of laughter ringing through the house. Just last year she sent me some precious photos of our families from those growing up days. So sorry her life was so short. My condolesences to the family.
With fond memories,
Darlene Brackett
Ray Chapman says
I am so sorry to hear about my friend Marilyn. She was a wonderful person and we enjoyed talking about Old Frankfort – especially the weird police reports that the Frankfort Morning Times used to print. She was a pleasure to work with and I will miss her very much. Please accept our heart felt regrets and condolences.
