To Marilyn's family: I just noticed this obituary,and wanted to say how much I enjoyed Marilyn - I worked with her at the School District in Duluth for a number of years. Her Sisu and great humor were the delightful things about her. She will be missed. Much love to her family. Polly JohnDuluth, MN 12/19/2012 2:22 PM
