She was an accomplished practical joker and had a hilarious sense of humor.  She traveled the world, and helicopter skied in the Swiss Alps.She was our sweet sister and best Aunt Bum to many nieces, nephews, great and great-great nieces and nephews. She loved her pets and horses, and was a loving mom to Caleb, Dickens, and Sammy the cat.

Until her very last day, she was still making and sharing her popular Christmas caramel corn.  She will always be loved and missed by many!Marilyn was predeceased by parents, Orville and Marian Hamm.
