, baking and traveling. Her travels included cruises to SE Alaska, trips with her friends to Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama and the Panama Canal as well as several vacations to Hawaii. Other memorable trips included Europe, Scandinavia, England and Ireland as well as senior softball tournaments in Utah and Montana and bowling tournaments throughout Western United States. Of all the activities, hobbies and traveling, Maralyn's greatest joy of all was being a grandmother. Maralyn leaves behind her husband Robert O. Nielsen, two children Robin Digel (Jon) and Robert "Tim" Nielsen (Lisa), five beautiful granddaughters Lacey Digel, Amanda Nielsen, Makayla Nielsen, Mariah Nielsen and Camille Nielsen. She was blessed with nieces and nephews from the Clark Family and Nielsen Family as well as many friends who were so very dear to her throughout her life. Thanks to Helen Keller for her words of Wisdom: "...a selfless woman who went throughout her life, helping others. She was chivalrous and a true angel, a lovely woman and we thank her for sharing her life with us.'' Maralyn was our Angel on earth and she will always be remembered. A Celebration of Maralyn's life will be held on Saturday February 10, 2018 at 11:00 am at Lifetime Celebrations by Washelli, 18224 103rd Avenue NE, Bothell, Washington 98011
