Van, my sincere sympathy on the loss of your mom. She truly was one of the nicest persons I have ever known.

Dave Strom

Paul, Ann, Van & families,

So sorry to hear about the passing of your dear mother. It was always a pleasure to see your mom when we gathered for family functions. I’m sure my dad and her are enjoying talking football and enjoying a hotdog. She was a treasure and what a matriarch. The grandkids have been blessed to have had her in their lives. You all have made her proud. Prayers and hugs to you all.

Love,

Stan & Kim

Dear Van, Ann, and Paul, my heart breaks hearing of the passing of your mom. We go way back. She was a great mentor and friend throughout my teaching career. A woman of steel with a heart of gold. Any student who had your mom for a teacher was truly blessed. I will miss her feisty spirit, kind heart, and unfailing friendship. There’s a party in heaven today with lots of shenanigans, and casino games, along with loved ones she has missed for many years. God bless you Marilyn. Houdini and I will miss you.❤️

Truly one of the best teachers ever. All my kids still count her as their favorite. She taught all the basics so well but also manners and respect and she had such a great laugh. We were all lucky to have her in our lives.

So sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I enjoyed many many laughs with her, and Nancy, at the Buck Inn back in the day!

I was always found of Mrs. Anglim started with her as my first grade teacher…. she lived just down the block. And working at jewelry store later in life setting her again. I think of her often still.

Tiny (Adrian) and Marilyn had many fun times at my parents house in Kipling. She was always nice and had a great sense of humor. I am sorry to hear she had passed away but other than losing Tiny, it seems she had a great life. I remember shooting hoops with Van in the school yard. It is obvious to me she was a wonderful Mom. God Bless and comfort for the whole family.

Words cannot express the loss . Marilyn was one of the best people I have ever known. Still called me Sassy just last year when I saw her while home visiting. I learned a lot from her not just as a teacher but as a person. Be nice she would always say, the kindness will always come back to you ten fold.
To Van, Ann, Paul and all your families God Bless and accept our love and prayers.
She will forever be in our hearts.

Our family’s former Kipling neighbor when she was growing up, and lifelong friend. Our good Lord surely welcomed her Home. ❤️

What an outstanding woman and wonderful teacher who touched so many lives through her teaching! Thank you, Marilyn for your years of service!

She was one of the very best teachers ever! I cannot begin to explain the impact she had on all of her students.
I had your mom the year your dad passed away, something I’ll never forget. Both of my children also had her in 1st grade. She was a very strong and compassionate woman, and was loved by all. I’m sure she’s playing bingo with her old friend Nancy, in heaven today.

Truly the sweetest lady, Heaven gained a beautiful Angel.

I am so sad to hear of Marilyns passing.. I had her as a 2nd grade teacher at All Saints, her very first year there. I loved that she would still hug me everytime i saw her in town. Many blessings and condolences to her family and friends and all the students that loved her.

Van, Ann, and Paul and families,
Sorry about the passing of your mom. We always enjoyed our visits with your mom at All Saints Church in the fellowship hall kitchen during funeral luncheons. She was a great and caring teacher with a very kind and understanding heart. Our daughter was so lucky to have your mom as her first grade teacher. It was wonderful to see how she transformed our shy daughter into an outgoing young girl. Your mom was truly one of the best. We feel lucky to have known her.

I’m so sorry for your loss! Marilyn was a fantastic lady! She was always smiling and loved to joke around! She was a great support for me and my son after his dad passed. She was always willing to help kids in anyway! She was very proud of her family!

Dear Paul, Ann,Van & families,
So very sorry for your loss. Your Mom was such a wonderful, remarkable woman. She was always so kind & loving. Sure will miss her laugh. Our lives were truly blessed knowing her. Our thoughts & prayers are with you all.

I am so very sad! Mrs. Anglim (As I always called her…and she would say “Annie you can call me Marilyn”) Was the absolute epitome of the best teacher ever. I had her in 2nd grade at All Saints and 3rd grade at Jones so for two years…she was my wonderful, amazing, kind, generous teacher. I will miss seeing her at mass and she will always hold a special place in my heart. God Bless you Mrs Anglim and my heart felt condolences to her family.

So sad and sorry to hear of Marilyn’s passing. She was a treasured friend to our whole family and will be greatly missed. I know she was a great teacher and loved everyone she taught. Van, Ann, Paul and grandkids; you were so lucky to have a mother and grandma as special as she was. She’s in Tiny’s loving arms again.

I have so many great memories of Marilyn. My three daughters each had her as a first grade teacher and remember her fondly to this day. I had the privilege of teaching with Marilyn for two years at James T. Jones Elementary School in Gladstone———both of us teaching a first grade classroom. She was always a positive influence on me and we shared many interesting school days. She was a great lady and friend. My sincere sympathy to her family. I celebrate her new life of joy!

Marilyn was a beautiful woman and a great friend and Teacher she was a family friend and will be sadly missed RIP Marilyn

I am so sorry for you loss Marilyn was my son’s 1st grade teacher! He and I absolutely loved her!

She was truly one of the best people ever! I have always said she was my favorite teacher! A few years back I was walking through the park on the 4th with my kids, and heard my name, all these years later she recognized me and wanted to catch up and meet my kids. She lovingly told stories to them of my love of talking during class, my messy penmanship and stories about my mom volunteering at Jones. She touched so many lives! I’m truly blessed to have had her touch mine. Keeping you all in my prayers~Ami (Phillips) Furchner

Marilyn was a wonderful mentor. Worked with her for many years. She used to tease my husband at church any time she saw him!! She is now at peace with your Dad and her good friend, Nancy. May God wrap you in a warm blanket of peace.

Van, Ann, and Paul. Bless you all and your families. I have the deepest respect for your Mom. She truly made a difference in many children’s lives. She went the extra mile to ensure that none of her students were left behind, a pioneer long before President Bush coined the phrase. I will miss our occasional chats. She always asked about my children as they both had her as their teacher. Truly dedicated!!!!! RIP Mrs.Anglim!!!!

The world lost a wonderful teacher and an amazing woman. Mrs. Anglim had a huge impact on all of her students, including me. Anyone that was lucky enough to have her, had someone that was rooting for you far after you left her classroom. I loved seeing her and Nancy at all our games, the saloon afterwards for pizza (and beer when I was older) and at Mass on Saturday night. It didn’t matter how old I got, it was always Mrs. Anglim that would greet me with a warm hug and an engaging conversation. You were one in a million and you will be missed.

Dear Van, Ann and Paul,
So sorry for you loss. I had the pleasure of being a student of Mrs. Anglim in second grade at All Saints. What a great example of an early elementary teacher she was. She was firm, fair and fun. Many years later, when I was doing my own student teaching at Jones I had the pleasure of meeting up with her again and I was now even more impressed with what a pro she was. She really had a great impact on many in Gladstone and was a fine lady.
Andy Wiltzius

Dearest family,
Your mom was a SPECIAL LADY. We got to meet each other as I also taught in the Gladstone School System. I had a pretty large garden and I would often bring her a bag of FRESH VEGGIES from time to time.
She was a VERY CARING and DEDICATED TEACHER. May GOD BLESS HER SOUL IN A VERY SPECIAL WAY AND ST. PETER WAS THERE TO OPEN THE GATES OF HEAVEN AFTER SHE PASSED.

Annie, Van Paul family and friends of Marilyn. I am sorry for your loss. Marilyn was special to me. I loved her sense of humor, those f ing turtles she always asked about and am grateful you were able to share her with me. I am grateful for her friendship and the smiles over the miles we gave me. Marilynn, the world was a better place with you here, but I know you will be keeping an eye on us. Thanks, and put in a good word for me with the big guy, please. Your friend, Connie

She was a wonderful neighbor to my mother & step father. She will be missed.

My sympathies for your loss. I was so fortunate to have her as a teacher and she was the best! She taught with kindness and love
My prayers are with the family.

Van, Ann and Paul, I am sorry to learn that your mom passed away. She was my favorite teacher while I was at All Saints School. Later in life, whenever we visited the U.P. during the July 4th festivities, I would run into her at the Thivierge’s lawn party and she would ask me where my freckles disappeared to. She still remembered her students 45 years after she taught them. I hope other teachers use her as a role model in life.

So many nice memories of my first-grade teacher! A wonderful person and she connected with and loved the children she taught so much. Always a warm hello as we grew, and such a supporter of the Gladstone Braves! A gift to us all.

So sorry for our loss, She was the best, Always a great smile when you met her. prayer and hugs to all.

Ann,Van,Paul and family, So saddened to hear of the passing of your Mom. She was a wonderful neighbor and friend to Joe, Jess and me. Lots of great memories. Your Mom was a special lady.

To Ann, Van, Paul, and Families,

I was so excited to hear that Marilyn was coming to Lakeview to live. She was welcomed by residence and staff. She seemed quite happy in spite of her failing health. We all enjoyed her stories about her teaching years. We sat at a table for meals together and with a couple of retired teachers. We were a lively bunch.

The world is a little dimmer since she made her final move. I will miss her so much.
One thing you can be assured of is that her family was the greatest thing of her life. She talked so much about each of you and never complained. And was so kind and loving to all.
I am not certain whether I will be able to attend the funeral.(THANK YOU COVID-19)
My love and prayers are with you all.
Vi Leonardi

Dear Paul,Van,and Ann and family,
Marilyn was a good friend and an exceptional teacher. She was so devoted to the children she taught and I always can remember Camp Skeeter! I taught at Wells school with
Ducheny and we had many good times going out to dinner and later in retirement fish fries. She was a person who cared about teaching it was a vocation not just a job. She was so proud of all of you and talked about you a lot. I was blessed to know her and I will miss her. Heaven has another bright star.
Janet Lindstrom

Marilyn…..what a lady! ❤️ She will be greatly missed! I did my student teaching with her in 1st grade back in 1981. I had the greatest experience and learned a lot from her. She was so loving, kind and had the best sense of humor and the laugh that went with it. She was always caring for others and put them first. She most definitely was a gracious gift to the teaching profession and was blessed to have had her as a mentor.

Thoughts and Prayers!
Heaven is lucky to have her!

We have lost the Greatest Teacher and the most kind person. I had Mrs. Anglim as my 1st Grade Teacher over 30 years ago and every time I came back to Gladstone she always recognized me and gave me a hug. How she could remember so many of her students after that many years was always amazing to me. She will be missed by so many people. I am so sorry for your family’s loss…it brought tears to my eyes when I saw her name in the newspaper. I hope you know how many lives your Mother has changed for the better and how much goodness she has passed onto all that were lucky enough to have met her.

Thank you for molding all of your former students into better people.

RIP Mrs. A

Family of Mrs. Anglim,
To be inspired and believed in. It begins with a spark from a courageous, loving, caring and kind person that is willing to lead their student’ and help them search far beyond anything they every thought could be possible.
She wasn’t just any 1st grade teacher she was the First grade teacher! Countless hours spent will all of her student loving us unconditionally. I honestly do not know how she did it; giving her time to every single student. She was truly an exceptional women. Everyday with my Student-Athletes I strive to portray the same courage, love, care, and work ethic into how I treat my student-athletes

Mrs. Anglim believed in my greatness from day one. She never gave up, she always cared even past her retirement. She was my friend. I will miss my lunch dates with her.

She was one of the best! Caring teacher and wonderful lady! To you and family, my sincerest condolences

Sorry to hear of her passing today. Thoughts are with the family.

Most likely my favorite and best teacher of all time because she was tough and demanding. I am still trying to fill the waste basket with spitballs! Thanks Mrs. Anglim!

Dear Ann, Van, Paul,
We send you our love and prayers as you adjust to your Mom passing. She was a dear woman and from the sound of these tributes, a great teacher. I have not seen Marilyn in years but I remember always being welcomed when we passed through on our way to Ironwood or coming home. May she Rest In Peace. Love, Uncle Brent Shelton

Dear Paul, Rachel, Emily and Jimmy,
You have our sincere sympathy with the loss of your dear Mother and Grandmother. By reading the many tributes, you know that several people have been touched in a special and meaningful way by her (us included)! Earth has lost a wonderful woman. May the Hope of Heaven comfort you during the difficult days to come, knowing she is finally Home with your Dad and Kelly. Sending you our love and hugs today.

Dear Van, Ann & Paul,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very sad time. Your mother was a wonderful person and she will be missed by so many. Gladstone won’t be quite the same without your mom’s presence, however, her beautiful spirit lives on. She made a difference in thousands of lives.

In 1967 … your mom was still grieving the loss of your dad. She put aside her own sadness in order to do something nice for me and my sisters. She invited us over to watch the “Miss Teen USA Pageant” on your “color” tv because our cousin from Detroit was a contestant in the pageant. We had planned on watching the pageant on our family’s black & white tv. Your mom thought that it’d be much more fun for us to watch the pageant in “living color”. As if that wasn’t enough … she served us “ice cream floats”. I will always remember her kindness.

Fast forward to 1995. Your mom was our twin daughters 1st grade teacher. They received a lot of encouragement and many hugs from your mom.

Your dear mom will be remembered with great fondness.
You have my deepest sympathy.

Sincerely,
Nancy (Gillis) LeGault

Marilyn was a wonderful teacher who treated each of her students as a unique individual. She not only taught, but shaped and guided her students in good behavior and caring for each other. She knew when they needed her and she was there to help. Those who had her for a teacher were blessed.

To Van, Ann and Paul….Your mother was one of the warmest and most caring teachers I have had the pleasure of knowing. I am sorry for your great loss. In 1985, I was blessed to have Marilyn as my supervising teacher. Thirty six years later and I’m still teaching and hearing Marilyn’s “whispers” in my ear, guiding me. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you! Char

To the Anglim Family,
Your mom was truly a blessing to so many people, including myself. The tributes say it all. I’m sure the Lord will be there welcoming her. Condolences and prayers for your family.

Dear Ann, Paul, Van and families,

My parents, Diana and Louie Johnson send their loving thoughts to you in your loss. They met your mom years ago on a travel adventure and cherish the wonderful times they spent together. As they all have struggled with their health, they were able to enjoy phone visits , and I know my mom will surely miss this. Our sympathy to you .

My family lived across the street from Marilyn growing up, and to this day she is one of the nicest, most caring people I’ve met. She was like a 3rd grandmother to me and I have fond memories of reading books and making cookies with her. She will be missed dearly but we are all better for having known her. My sincerest condolences to you, Ann, Van and Paul. May she rest in peace

Dear Ann, Van, Paul and families,

My family was heartbroken to hear of the loss of your mom. She was truly a shining light in this world, and one of a kind. However, one of the first comments from one of my girls was “Now she is with her husband again!” What a reunion that must have been in Heaven! Dan worked with her in high school as an aide while she was still teaching, and they quickly became great friends. I met her after she had retired, but I enjoyed hearing about her work as a teacher, and it helped solidify my decision to become an educator. I remember when she told me that the naughty kids would give you grief, but end up giving you the best stories and would always hold a special place in your heart because they are the ones that need you the most. I have found this to be quite true. I was a stay-at-home mom for many years, but she would always tell me how important it was to keep up with my degree and keep furthering my education, the same advice she also gave to Dan. She always had wonderful advice, and she was never afraid to give it. We always appreciated her honesty. Our conversations also always included the latest goings-on with the Packers, which she was very passionate about! We will greatly miss talking to her. She was a wonderful person who will be missed tremendously by my family. She and your entire family have been and will continue to be in our prayers.

I was privileged to meet “Mrs. Anglim” when she accepted me as her student teacher. She was the very best teacher, mentor and friend. There is nothing I can add to the many wonderful tribute comments. We were all so very fortunate to be touched by this angel. Rest In Peace dear Marilyn

Ann, Van , Paul and family. My deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother. She was a great friend and neighbor. She was like a member of our family, as Joe and Jess would look forward to going across the street to see you mom. She was a great teacher and an even better person. She will be truly missed.
