Marilyn is survived by their two daughters: Susan, Hilliard OH, and Julie (Nick) Collard, Louisville KY, and their two grandchildren: Chelsea (Peter) Moran, Atlanta GA, and James Collard, Lexington KY.
Lynn's smile, faith, positive attitude, and concern for others over self were all hallmarks of her life, and she'll be remembered as the best wife, Mom and Grandma in the world!
The family wishes to thank the caregivers of Otterbein St. Marys SeniorLife and Grand Lake Hospice for the excellent care Mom has received the past few years/months.
