Journal entry by Melanie Mayeranderson

Marilyn Faye Emblen
February 1, 1938 - April 5, 2022

After a 17-month cancer fight, Mom passed away at Dianne's home on Tuesday, April 5. She was surrounded by all of her loved ones and had the most peaceful passing ever.

At Mom's request, there will be no memorial service. Mom was cremated and this summer our family will lay her ashes to rest in the columbarium in Estes Park next to Virginia and Henry Baker.

Roger has been at Dianne's home since March 1, but will be transitioning back to his condo in Pensacola this week. His plan is to stay at the condo for one to two months, and then he will move to an assisted living community in Colorado near Lisa, Erik and Melanie. Melanie has adopted Jasper, Marilyn's beloved dog, and she will head back to Colorado April 16 after helping settle Marilyn's affairs.
