Honor Marilyn in the best way possible - by donating blood.
Marilyn was diagnosed with two rare forms of overlapping chronic Leukemia in April of 2021. One form of the cancer meant she produced too many white blood cells, the other meant her bone marrow couldn’t produce enough red blood cells. Her disease carried with it the symptom of being chronically anemic, meaning she frequently required blood transfusions. Over her final two years, she received over 40 transfusions representing almost 100 units of blood. Every time Marilyn saw a new bag of blood hooked up to her IV, she would say a prayer for the donor that made that small sacrifice for her.
Her life was extended numerous times by the generosity of people taking time to donate blood.
