Family: On behalf of the officers, directors and alumni of the original Hiram High School, Hiram, Ga, we all send our deepest condolences to each of you in the passing of Marilyn. She was a member of the 1954 graduating class of HHS, Hiram, Ga. Being first cousins with her, I have known Marilyn since I can remember anyone in the family. Remember the day her and Bro Loran got married at New Harmony Church. Marilyn loved the Lord, her family, friends . I know you will miss her in this life, but she is reunited with Loran and all her family. May God bless and comfort each of you. Love, Wendell O. Rakestraw, Secy/Treas, HHSAA, Centre, Al;
I do not have a personal big memory I only have the ones from the early 70s while I lived in Ga and attended the Church Of Christ. We move back to Michigan but I still talked to my aunt and she would tell me about lunches they had. My Aunt Judy was great friends with Marilyn and they talked a lot on the phone and had lunches. Last time I seen her was at my Aunt Judy wedding. Marilyn was such a sweet lady I know while living in Ga and attending church with them. Prayers to her family members during this time and Hugs
Ms Marilyn was a sweet, beautiful lady. My condolences to Demetrius, Jennifer, Cheyenne, and Owen, who were wonderful caregivers for years.
Our love,Keith and Janet Lawson
I was so blessed to have the sweetest Mother that God picked for me. I have so many wonderful memories of her. She was beautiful inside and out, godly, funny, young at heart, thoughtful, silly, good listener and oh so caring. All of the big events in my life have been blessed by the presence of your grace and beauty. You are forever in my heart.
Mrs. and Mrs. Crowe welcomed us like their own kids when we lived in Georgia. We appreciated a second set of parents that cared about us. Lorie and Ricky were our good friends. Our families were very similar and Lorie would say Nancy ” We were just raised rat(right)” Sending our love from Petoskey, Michigan. Nancy and Rob McLellan
