    Marilee made the world a better place for others. She knitted caps and baby blankets for newborns
    in the hospital, lap robes for elderly people in care facilities, and afghans for friends and family. She
    was a very nice person and she will be missed.

    Just learned of Marilee's passing. 😥 My heart is sad for all of
    the family. Ms. Marilee was a wonderful walking partner with a
    fun sense of humor and a great memory for Otis' past
    residents. I will always hold in my heart her habit of pulling
    alongside my yellow house on Main Street, sticking her head
    out the window of her red vehicle and hollering, "Hey kid, you
    wanna go for a ride?" 😁
