Memorial Service was held on Friday, June 5th

Marilyn died a peaceful death on March 19, 2026 at the age of 90. She was a music teacher, church musician, and community leader. Marilyn shared her musical talents with our church for three decades! She joined us in 1976 and led our choirs and musicians through the years until her departure from her role as Director of Music Ministries in 2006. She lived in Downers Grove for 53 years, then moved to Wisconsin in 2021 to be closer to family.

SERVICE: Family and friends gathered to celebrate her life with a Memorial Service in our Sanctuary on June 5th, followed by a luncheon. And many people have sung in choirs under Marilyn’s direction over the years, and were invited to lift up their voices and participate in her service. Marilyn’s son-in-law, Rick Prescott, directed the choir. If you were not able to attend in-person, the service can be viewed from our YouTube channel using the button below.
