Marilyn Rose Falk's Obituary
Marilyn Rose Falk (nee Miller) age 85, of Strongsville passed away peacefully on August 19, 2015 surrounded by her loving family. Marilyn brightened up every party and was always the perfect hostess. She will be remembered most for her kind words and loving personality.

Her father built over 100 homes in Columbia Station including a home for every one of his six children. Marilyn grew up in Columbia Station, and raised her three sons in Olmsted Falls. She also lived in North Royalton before she and Arthur retired in Strongsville. Her hobbies included golf, traveling, and playing bridge with “the ladies”.
