“Marilyn was a great mentor in my early nursing career. A fabulous and tireless woman who taught each of us nurses all we knew about caring for SCI patients. To Chrissy and Marilyn’s family, I’m so sorry for your loss!”

Stanley Ducharme wrote a sympathy message

“I am so sad to learn of Marilyn’s passing. I worked with her on Robbie 7 and for many years in Boston. After she moved to California, I often spent time with her at conferences, especially in Vegas. So many great memories. I loved her sense of humor. Being a psychologist, her nick name for me was always “Psycho”. She was such a wonderful, caring and loving person. She was like a family member to our University Hospital group. Will miss you, Marilyn. Stan Ducharme”

Ann Ameigh wrote a sympathy message

“Marilyn was a wonderful friend and colleague. We were both in the Rehab Program at Boston University.with Lena Plaisted. She suggested that we both join the staff at University Hospital as Clinical Specialists, Marilyn on Robbie 7 and myself on Collamore 3. She was always a nurse’s nurse and patients and staff shared # 1 on her priority list. She gave her best all the time- with a smile and words of encouragement. I will miss her presence in my life. We were all lucky to spend time with her.”

Shalita Anderson wrote a sympathy message

“It was always a moment (or a few moments) of laughter when I think about Marilyn. Throughout my time at Rancho I was educated and empowered to be a well-informed nurse who advocates for patients to actively and/or passively manage their health-care needs. You will truly be missed by many. Take your rest and may your loved one's be comforted knowing the impact and imprint you left on this side of the earth. Truly, Shalita Anderson (Monroe)”
