She worked briefly at the Savanna Army Depot. Marilyn struggled with mental and physical health issues for most of her adult life, but always maintained a positive attitude and tried her best to improve her situation. She loved to read, do word search puzzles, enjoyed bingo and all the activities available at Ennoble, which she called home for the past seven years. Marilyn especially enjoyed visits from family and friends. She was a member of First Presbyterian Church, Bellevue, the Bellevue Order of Eastern Star and American Legion Auxiliary.

She is survived by her sister, Jeannette (Jean) and brother-in-law Richard Anderson of Marion, Iowa; nephews Paul (Becky) Anderson of Cedar Rapids, Mark (Kim) Anderson of Daytona Beach, FL, and niece Tammie Anderson of Alexandria, VA, in addition to great-nephews, Isaac and Ian Anderson, and great-niece, Alexa (Douglas) De Long, and children McKenzie, Carson and Annabelle, all of Cedar Rapids, as well as numerous cousins.

The family would like to thank the caregivers at Ennoble Rehab and Nursing Center, especially Mary and Anita, and the entire staff who provided care and assistance to Marilyn over the years. You were truly family to her, and each of you left an indelible mark on her heart, and we are grateful to you.
