Marilyn Appenzeller overcome obstacles and met challenges head on to get things done which would benefit others.
At times her agressive nature was not as welcome3d as she would have liked, but she still charged on! The Fraternal order of Eagles 2783 of Rock Falls will look back through the years and say well thats not the way Marilyn would have done it and perhaps some of her ideas will be relived through the years as the Eagles press forward to support the worthwhile charaties of this PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE ORGANIZATION
