    I'm a CNA at Garden Villa Nursing Home, my favorite part of every single one of my shifts was when Marilynn would ask me for updates about my pregnancy and the smile that grew on her face everytime I told how my baby girl has been kicking or keeping me up at night, it was priceless. She will be missed dearly by so many who loved her so much.

    So sorry to hear of Marilynn’s passing! She was an inspiration to all who knew her! She never let her handicap deter her from whatever she wanted to do! She will be greatly missed! Unfortunately, I will not be able to get to the services, but know that I am keeping you all in my thoughts at this time.

    As a brother-in-law married to Marilynn's sister Evelyn, I was always amazed of Marilynn's constant ability to overcome her handicap. She always enjoyed life in general. She was one of a kind and always treated other's in a very respectful way. I was very sad to hear of her passing and hope her and her sister are now in each other's arms. She will be missed by all who knew her. God Bless Her, Jerry PS: Sorry my health prevents me from coming to her funeral.

    When I was little, I remember going to Aunt Marilynn's house and spending time talking and eating bologna sandwiches. Aunt Marilynn, you were a wonderful person and we are going to miss you. Please give mom a hug for me. We love you, John & Brenda Hishinuma, Tyler Hishinuma and Bryanna & Joshua Conde and family
