The world lost a beautiful life this week. On Wednesday, May 4th, Marilynn returned home to her loving Heavenly Father. She was surrounded with family and left peacefully. Although we will greatly miss her presence, we are comforted to know she is free from pain.
As seen with the latest blog post, the last few months have been challenging. However, in spite of the immense pain she felt, Marilynn was able to work on her life history and spend time with her husband and children. Marilynn was not one to complain—even when the pain became unbearable. She left each of us with a powerful example to continue running through life with a positive and joyful attitude.
Thank you all for your kind words, uplifting thoughts and prayers. We have all felt uplifted by your sentiments. Arrangements are being made by the Pierce Funeral Home, 9609 Center Street, Manassas, Virginia. Please follow their website for funeral information and obituary: http://www.piercefh.com/. In lieu of flowers, we encourage donations to the American Cancer Society in her name: https://donate.cancer.org/index.
A viewing will be held Sunday, May 8th from 5:30-7:30 PM. An additional viewing will be available on Monday, May 9th from 11:00-11:45 AM. A funeral service will follow at 12 PM. Both the viewing and funeral will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, located at 2719 Hunter Mill Road, Oakton, Virginia 22124.
Below is a photo taken last Saturday, April 30th, of Justin, Marilynn & Steve cheering on a local 5K. Marilynn was excited to cheer on the runners as the route ran right past their house.
Love, Steve, Troy, Stephanie, Justin & Stacey
