   Marilyn Elizabeth Dahlen, 76, of Longville passed away after a long and courageous battle with cancer on April 12, 2023.  

   Marilyn was an active member of St. Edwards Catholic Church in Longville and a dedicated volunteer at Tossed & Found.

Marilyn enjoyed working in her beautiful gardens and was an avid reader. Marilyn was also quite an accomplished Fisherwoman, whether angling deep sea or on her and Kurt’s annual trips to Canada. She loved to be outdoors and taking long daily walks, and continued to enthusiastically carry on with her daily activities, even through the increasing difficulties brought on by her cancer.  

   Above all else was Marilyn’s love and care for her family, and she cherished each one of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, as will her determination to make the world a better place for us all.
