Marilyn was married to Richard Casper Voskuil in 1959, in Otley, Iowa. Marilyn was generous, kind, funny, fun, beautiful, and the heart of our family. She was a wonderful mom, a best friend, a confidante and excellent listener, good cook and crafter, avid reader and lover of PBS, involved church leader, and a loving, caring, and devoted grandma. All of this, with a touch of moxie as well. She was also an accomplished singer. Marilyn sang not only at church, but for the Paul Hill Choral in Washington DC, the Minneapolis Symphony, and with the Bach Society in St. Louis. She believed strongly in Christ, and earnestly lived to try to honor God. She volunteered at church and for local charitable organizations. Marilyn did so much for so many. Please remember her for all the good she brought to those she knew, and to those she touched that didnt even encounter or meet her. She brought love, caring, and kindness to so many. Her life will be celebrated on Saturday, June 11th at Grace Presbyterian Church located at 4300 W. Park Blvd, Plano, Texas 75093 at 1:00 pm.
