Jean Greene wrote a sympathy message

“We were so sad to hear of the passing of our sweet friend Marilyn. We came to know Marilyn when we first arrived in North Carolina in 2012. We were neighbors then at Bell Wakefield. She introduced us to her friends, got us involved in the Senior Center. We had many fun, sometimes hilarious times with Marilyn and our friend Betty. We are truly sorry for your loss. We will miss her dearly. Rick and Jean Greene”
