Memorial Service Update

I visited with Pastor Kelle from St. Paul's yesterday. She was very helpful and supportive.  We had a wonderful talk. 

Exquisite stained glass windows light up the nave with their bright jewel tones.  Up at the front and to the left is a smaller room, with a huge round stained glass window from their original building.  From 1910, this window features a large figure of Jesus in the center surrounded by a circle of white flowers in a golden background.  Quite extraordinary.

I hope you are able to come to Marilyn's memorial service at 2 p.m at St. Paul. (3880 SE Brooklyn, Portland).  It's just off Cesar Chavez, formerly 39th, between Powell and Division.

  Here's a copy of Marilyn's Artist's Resume from 1999 describing herself, her work, and her accomplishments. 

Memorial Service

Marilyn passed away June 22, 2012 at about a quarter to seven in the evening.  She had been ill for some time. The service and celebration of her life will be held at St Paul Lutheran Church in Portland, Oregon (http://www.stpaulportland.org).   The service starts at 2 PM and all her friends are welcome.

Her family requests that instead of flowers that you consider either a monetary donation in her name or a donation of time to one of the organizations or causes that she supported such as the Valley Art Association (http://www.valleyart.org/), Women's Caucus for the Arts (http://www.oregonwca.org/), or Elders in Action ( http://www.eldersinaction.org/).  She was very active in the support of women, artists, the aging and disabled.
