She also leaves behind 20 great-grandchildren; and her brother, Marvin Hollingshead. Marilyn was preceded in death by her husband, Marvin; her very beloved daughter, Claudia Dales, who we know greeted Mom immediately after her death. Others that preceded Marilyn are her parents; her brothers, Danny and Gayle Hollingshead; two infant granddaughters; and son-in-law, Thomas Mabe.

The family would like to thank the Bishop Drumm Retirement Center staff for the loving care Marilyn received in the time she was there. Memorials may be made to: Bishop Drumm Retirement Center, 5837 Winwood Drive, Johnston, IA 50131, in loving memory of Marilyn.
