I only knew Marilyn for a few years when I first started teaching at Clemente. It was nice to meet a caring, competent nurse like her. She made a big contribution to life at Clemente.

To Marilyn's Family,
My sympathies. Marilyn was a great nurse. She was always there for the students and staff. We knew how important it was to have a nurse there everyday. She also helped Clemente become involved in programs for the girls like the one for pregnant girls and new mothers from the March of Dimes.
She will be missed.
