Marilyn owned a travel agency (World Travel Service) in Sidney, Montana.  She was very proud of her business and loved to travel and escort tours.  She went by “Blondie” and wrote a column in the newspaper.

She was a very outgoing, friendly person and loved people. She never knew a stranger. 

Eldin and Marilyn spent a lot of time at their winter home in Arizona, and they made many friends in Mesa.

Marilyn attended spiritual retreats in the United States and India. Her favorite saying was “All we are is Spirit”.

She is greatly missed by many…she is and was well loved.
