Marilyn Marie Scott

Ah my friend from so long ago. We met in grade school. You lived down the block from me. Then we met again so many years later and the friendship was still there. God how you made me laugh! And your laugh was so contagious! I did not know you left this earth. I wondered many times why I hadn’t heard from you. So tonight I sought out your name, and there you were in an obituary. How painful it is. How you loved your boys and those two beautiful granddaughters. I hope you are with your mom and sister up there, sharing all the good stuff and laughing your beautiful laugh. Until we meet again Marilyn. You will be missed by many. You were a true gem. Now the tears are falling. I am so sorry you are gone ♥️

Marilyn, our mom, our confidante, our guiding light. How do we begin to say goodbye to the woman who was the very center of our world?

Mom, you weren’t just our parent; you were our best friend, our strongest supporter, our softest landing place. You knew us better than we knew ourselves. You could read our moods like an open book, always knowing when we needed a word of encouragement, a listening ear, or just a quiet moment of understanding. In your eyes, we always saw unconditional love and acceptance.

Our relationship wasn’t just about the big moments – the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings. It was in the small, everyday moments that your love truly shone. The way you’d leave little notes in our lunchboxes, even long after we’d grown up. The sound of your laughter floating from the kitchen as you danced while doing the dishes. The comfortable silences we shared, just being in each other’s presence.

We’ll miss our late-night talks, when we’d discuss everything from our deepest fears to our wildest dreams. We’ll miss the way you’d teach us how to make our famous old family recipes, having our regular Sunday dinners together, the way you’d hum softly while gardening, the way you’d look at us with such pride, even when we felt we’d failed.

Mom, you were our anchor in stormy seas, our compass when we felt lost. You believed in us even when we doubted ourselves. Your strength (and stubbornness) during your illness was awe-inspiring. Even in your final days, you were more concerned about comforting us than yourself.

As we say goodbye, our hearts ache with the depth of this loss. But we find solace in the beautiful memories we created, in the love we shared, in the lessons you taught us. Marilyn, our beloved mom, grandmother, sister and friend, thank you for your unwavering love, for the values you instilled in us, for the countless moments of joy and tenderness.

Though you’re no longer with us physically, your love remains a part of us. We promise to live our lives in a way that would make you proud, to love as fiercely as you loved us, to face challenges with the grace and strength you showed us. We miss you, and love you to Heaven and back. Until we meet again, mom, we’ll carry you in our hearts, always.

To my Sis..
God called you Home..you will be so missed, but knowing you are with Jesus and all the “women we love” is comforting!!
We will “ see you in the morning” !!

WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE!!

Marilyn, I miss you. 30 years ago I met you when I had my first car, the hatchback. We shared many laughs and tears together. Whether we played cards together, a board game, an art session or got crafty, we always said goodbye with a great feeling. Now, I find myself not able to say goodbye. I miss you.

I’m so glad that we got to share as much time together as we did! We shared a passion for crochet, coffee & I enjoy telling you frequently how much I loved your son. I’ll miss you dearly.
