Marilyn, better known as "Nancy Lopez" "Red" "Granny Marilyn" and "Mimi", will be remembered for her sweet smile, her gift of gravity and her complete love of life. She loved each woman as a daughter, each man as a son and each child as her own. She was a gracious chaperone, hostess and horse mother to many. She has forever made a big burgundy lipstick mark in this world!

CHEERS TO HEAVEN! You got a good one!
