Marilyn kept us all laughing with some of her favorite sayings such as," I'll snatch you bald-headed", "I'll squish you like a bug", or "I'll run your finger through the pencil sharpener." She loved to garden, and read, and enjoyed working on the genealogy of her family. She also loved watching Lifetime movies, Jeopardy, and Judge Judy. She never passed up a good craft show or garage sale, and she enjoyed participating in Red Hat Society. Most of all, she loved the Lord, and spending time with her family.

She leaves behind a brother and sister in law, her six children, twenty-two grandchildren, twenty-four great grandchildren, one great, great grandchild, and many nieces and nephews. She was cherished by all.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to: Wayne T Patrick Hospice House, 2275 India Hook Road, Rock Hill, SC 29732.
