Residient Spotlight: Marilyn J was born on March 21st to Leonard and Charlotte K. in Detroit, Michigan. She grew up alongside her two brothers, Michael and Charles, and her sister, Dorothy. Marilyn attended St. Rita’s Grade School and continued her education at Our Lady of Mercy High School. She then followed her passion for helping others by enrolling at St. Joseph’s School of Nursing in Detroit, where she earned her Registered Nurse (RN) degree. Marilyn continued her academic journey at the University of Detroit Mercy, where she received her master’s degree. Marilyn began her nursing career at Henry Ford Hospital, working with pediatric patients. She later worked in a pediatric doctor’s office before discovering her love for teaching. Marilyn became a Professor of Nursing at Macomb Community College, where she made a lasting impact. Along with a colleague, she helped develop and obtain national accreditation for a Medical Office Assistant program. Together, they prepared students for certification, established co-op opportunities, and helped place students in positions to successfully complete their training. Marilyn met her husband, John, on a blind date. When she returned home, she told her mother and grandmother, “If someone named John calls, tell him I’m not home!” Fortunately, John called again, and the rest is history. They were married in May 1963, and built a beautiful family together, including their daughter Laura, sons Stephen and Matt, three granddaughters, and one grandson. Marilyn has always enjoyed an active and adventurous life. She loves skiing, golfing, boating, and fishing even baiting her own hook. Family ski trips created many treasured memories, and her travels have taken her to the Grand Canyon, California, Las Vegas, New York, Saint Martins and several western European countries. John describes Marilyn as happy, intelligent, hardworking, and loving. Here at Maris Pointe, we know Marilyn as someone with a quick smile, a wonderful sense of humor, and a joyful spirit. She enjoys participating in activities and brings laughter to those around her.

We recently had a wonderful flower arrangement class here at Maris Pointe. Our residents had so much fun creating their own beautiful arrangements for the dining tables. We’ll be enjoying their lovely creations over the next few days, and they truly add a special touch to our dining room. Please enjoy these fun photos and share them with family. 🌸
