I was so sad to hear about Marilyn’s passing. Worked with her for many years.
Condolences to her family!

I worked with Marilyn at IMT and loved her craziness, her laugh, her fierce intelligence and her kindness. She was a feisty lady alright. Episodes I will remember are her determination to help Romel in Canada at the Shriners hospital (the IMT president matched whatever funds Marilyn could raise) and she was the first person who knew about the 9/11 attacks in our office as she was on the phone with a US customer. That morning she yelled from her cubicle “hey, a plane has just flown into the World Trade Center”. Of course no one could imagine it was a passenger jet. She had visited the WTC recently and showed us photos from her NY trip taken in those fateful buildings. God bless you Marilyn, one of God’s true characters xo
