I am so sorry to learn of Marilyn's death. I was looking for Rosalyn Hamilton's obituary and I saw Marilyn's. I enjoyed all the years I worked with Marilyn and the customers all loved her. There was no one like Marilyn and she was loved by all who knew her.

Memaw, my mom, my dad, my sister and I went to Fredericksburg, TX back when I was in Highschool for a family vacation. On this trip we did a lot of fun things but one memory in particular I want to share about this trip was about a time my mom and sister and Memaw went to a gag gift shop whilst my dad and I were at a re-enactment of the pacific war. They went in to this shop and the store clerk was opening this awful can of fart smell and playing a fart machine to startle my Memaw, and my mom can probably tell this part of the story better since she was there but Memes thought it was one of the store patrons and was absolutely appalled making the worst face about how this woman was reliving herself in the store. Once she realized it was a prop and not the person she of course had to buy both the can of fart smell and the machine. They proceeded to pick my dad and I up from the re-enactment and what did they do, they had opened the can of smell and set up the machine under Memaw's seat to absolutely disgust us. We're an open family but I was truly concerned about what was coming out of my Grandmother. Before we could even stop to tell them something was seriously wrong my mom, sister and Memaw busted out laughing and once they told us what was going on we busted out laughing too, but then we had to pull over and close that can and air out the van because it was AWFUL! Memaw was always looking for a reason to laugh, and rarely went without a smile. I will miss her but laugh every time I hear a fart because of her.
I will always remember holiday dinners prepared by Aunt Marilyn. She would be cooking for days. Amazing food and all my favorite pies in one place. I never knew I could eat so much but it was all so delicious. She had a beautiful smile and good sense of humor and always treated me with love. The world has lost a light but she deserves her Heavenly Reward and a nice rest from this difficult world.
