Bunny was a sweet gal. I enjoyed playing golf with her when I played years ago. She did love the game, she would often play alone and I would see her playing since I lived on the course. We would chat, I’ll miss seeing her smile. My condolences to the Spath family.

Bunny will be missed by so many of us. She left a very impressionable mark on us all. Her beautiful smile and kind heart is something that will be missed! As I would donate to the Wellspring Store here in PTC, often I would be met by her big smile and thank you. I loved her sense of humor and of course her “style”. She always dressed so smart and looked like the latest fashion model! Heaven has received a beautiful angel❤️

My sincere condolences to Bunny’s family. She was one of my favorite people In Peachtree City. She had such a sweet personality and great sense of humor. She loved the game of golf and was always such a good sport. I always felt as if I had a kindred spirit in Bunny and I think she felt the same. I know we will meet again one day.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Ms. Marilynn. Take comfort in knowing that you can see your mom again. God has promised at Acts 24:15: “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”
He will give you strength and courage to cope with your grief.

Bunny was my very first love in 1954, although she was from Ambridge and I from the much-reviled cross-river rival, Aliquippa. But as those of you who knew her well will attest, you had to have a lot of, hmm, what would be the word, style, substance and savoir faire to keep up with Bunny, which in my salad days, I simply didn’t have so she dumped me. RIP, Bunny, you truly were one of a kind.

I used to caddy for Marilynn (Bunny) at the Ambridge Country Club in the mid 1970s. At the time, she was the second best female golfer at the club. She was a woman of substance who was always a delight to be around. RIP Bunny, it was a delight to have known you. My condolences to your family.
