Marilyn was a proud fan of Florida Gators football and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, never missing a game and always cheering on her teams with enthusiasm.

She is survived by her son, Elliott, of Orlando; her brother, Joe, of Oregon; and her sister-in-law, Juanita, of Atlanta. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Don and her parents, Thomas Alton Molesworth and Dorothy Prims.
