A beautiful soul and wonderful Aunt
As a child I may have been a bit scared of Marylee from time to time (hehe) but I always admired how strong and independent of a woman she was. Love the memories I have of her from back then of all the family gatherings. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in Kentucky today.
My favorite client
Marylee touched my heart so very much these last 3 years. She would visit us every week. Myself and the rest of my team at the branch will miss her sweet smile. Most of all I will miss her hugs. Sending hugs and prayers to the entire family and friends of Ms. Marylee.
Very sorry for your loss.
Mark,Alice,and all the family,I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. Please know you are all in my prayers. Bobbi Budke
