ravel, and attend the Iowa State Fair annually. After many years together, misfortune struck, as Allan became terminally ill and passed away in October of 1996. J.D. and Andy kept their Mom very, very busy during the next ten years ...........too many "stories" to tell right now!!
On February 20, 2005, Marilyn married Mark Brower, a Mechanical Engineer who was employed by Rockwell-Collins. Mark was truly a “rocket scientist”. He was "willing" to take on the challenge of having two sons, a family dog, and of course a new wife!!! We enjoyed eleven great years together.
Mark was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in January of 2016 and passed away in March of 2016.
One of Marilyn's favorite quotes:
Life is a journey, not a destination.
