Marilyn was a dedicated employee, working at Olin/Flexel as a lab technician for 34 years. Her commitment to her work was evident in her meticulous attention to detail and the joy she derived from her contributions to the community. Colleagues admired her not only for her skills but also for her uplifting personality that always brought a smile to the workplace.

Marilyn was raised on a farm which led to her life-long passion for gardening, landscaping, and yard work, activities that allowed her to connect with nature and enjoy the outdoors. She also enjoyed playing golf and going out to have a meal with her close friend Lorraine Lambert and other great friends.

Marilyn is survived by her loving husband, Larry Jacobs; her two stepsons, Tony and Jason Jacobs; and her cherished grandchildren, Claire, Vivian, Jessica, and Brett Jacobs. Each of them carries forward the legacy of her kindness, joy, and unwavering support.
