Following high school, Marilyn worked as a bookkeeper for a grain elevator in Fairfield, IA, and then in Ollie, IA, at Downey Furniture. Best known as a local florist, Marilyn started working for her daughter at Country Charm Flowers and Gifts in 1985. She became a certified florist many years ago and has used her skill and talent ever since.
A devoted mother and grandmother, Marilyn was anticipating the birth of her first great-grandchild. In her younger years, she enjoyed camping and boating, along with tending her flower garden.
Marilyn is survived by three daughters, Janyce (Bob) Gray of Cedar Rapids, IA, Tammie Haney of Fairfield, IA, and Sherry (Mike Shannan) Bertsch of Washington, IA, and one granddaughter, Katlyn Haney of Fairfield, IA.
Along with her parents, Marilyn was preceded in death by a sister, Carolyn Besco.
