There wasn’t a moment she didn’t make you feel special, and she definitely wasn’t afraid to tell you the truth. She had a passion for buisness, and successfully ran Jerry’s Grill & Bar for 50 years, up until the day she left us. Some of Marilyn’s favorite things include new recipes, makeup, jewelry, shopping with all her kids, and of course Elvis and his blue suede shoes. She lived for spending time with her family, we all shared a very special bond that not many families can say they have, and we will all forever cherish those memories with her. Through this time we know many people loved her and would love for her to live on in your favorite memory. We invite you to post on her Facebook page your favorite memory, story or picture.
