Tributes
"I was sorry to hear of Marlys death. Mildred was a dear friend and babysitter and our children loved having her, and sometimes Elene would sit with them. They still talk about them. We sold our home in Garwin 2 years ago and moved to Marshalltown but still miss our friends in Garwin. Marlys was a good friend and we will miss her."
