Marilyn enjoyed racing on their many boats over the years beginning with their Flying Scot through to their Pearson 30. She thoroughly enjoyed supporting the entire family in their sailing endeavors and insisted the boat be raced. She enjoyed knitting, quilting, cross-stitching, and was an avid reader – a gift she passed on to her granddaughters.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorial contributions be made to the Inter-Lake Yachtsmen’s Fund at Yachtsmensfund.org.
