Please accept our deepest condolences. Marilyn was a lovely person.
Our thoughts are with the family at this difficult time.
Such fond memories of our holidays together in Nana Challinor and pops caravan in Talacre North Wales. Walking nans dogs Trudy an old black Labrador and Bongo or Bonjo a brown and white spaniel on Talacre beach. Staying on one occasion in Mini Mor an old ramshackle dilapidated house toasting bread on the open fire. The many visits to Leeds and then Anlabby common . Marilyn was truly a remarkable human being and without doubt a force to be reckoned with! As a child I was so saddened when the family emigrated to Australia but distance didn’t matter, Marilyn always kept in touch, writing letters to my mum and latterly to my sister in law Julie. Now she rests in peace with Colin, Uncle Jack , Auntie Dorrie and Grace. My heartfelt condolences go to a most loving family, who are grieving but will remain committed to each other during this difficult time God bless you all X. RIP Marilyn xx
I am so very grateful for your special friendship and all the fun times we have had.
You were a very special person. At Happy Hour on Fridays you would drift around chatting with everyone. The Christmas Party will not be the same without you spreading fun.
Aqua Aerobics will not be as much fun. You were the quiet assassin. Suddenly splashing from behind. Our instructors will not be able to cope without you helping them to count down.
I will miss you terribly but I know such a beautiful person will be in a beautiful place.
Rest in peace my friend.
So many memories, sneaking up into the Orchard for a smoke with you thinking Lisa had no idea, you teasing the boys at Pilks, your amazing work with the local wildlife, your sense of humour and kind heart and soul that you have also passed down to your Daughters.
Maz you were such an amazing friend, huge Love and respect , R.I.P my dear friend
Deepest condolences to Karen and Lisa and your families on the sad loss of your very special Mum and Nana. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time, sending you all lots of love xxxx
We hold so many wonderful memories of time while we were neighbours at End Hills. We had so much fun with Marilyn and Colin from playing cards to Marilyn looking after me while i was in labour with my first. She was a wonderful person. Sending our thoughts to Karen and Lisa and families during this difficult time.
It was a beautiful service to mark Marilyn’s life. Thinking of you all x
