Marilyn and Harold met and were married in Rockford, Ill. And later moved to Sunnyvale where they both worked for Lockheed until their retirement. Upon their retirement they relocated to Morgan Hill.

Some of Marilyn’s favorite past times were hiking, backpacking, and traveling. From hiking in local parks to parts of the Pacific Crest Trail. While living in England she was active with two local hiking groups. Her most memorable outings were climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa and the walking safaris in Kenya, Africa.

We would like to give thanks to the very supportive employees of Home Instead Senior Care, Vitas Hospice and Westmont of Morgan Hill for their support in making Marilyn’s last few weeks comfortable.
