The GAF receives generous donation from late resident

IN MEMORIAM

The Golden Age Foundation (GAF) would like to thank Marilyn Schatz, who recently passed away, for her generous bequest to the foundation. Because of this donation, the GAF can continue to give back to residents in the community. Marilyn moved into Leisure World in 2013. Almost immediately, she started volunteering for the GAF through assisting in the tax program by making appointments over the phone.

Marilyn was also one of the phone volunteers for the Mobility Aids program. Her journals reflected how much she enjoyed volunteering. She also loved her dog, Abby.

Marilyn was born on Aug. 8, 1935, to Arnold Free and Phyllis Mcleary. She graduated in 1953 from Freemont High School in Los Angeles. She went on to correspondence school to become a professional secretary. She was also a notary public. Marilyn retired from TRW in 1993. She continued to live in the South Bay area until moving to Mutual 1 in Leisure World.

Anna Derby, president of GAF, is in contact with the Mutual 1 president to plan a remembrance of Marilyn, such as a bus bench. The GAF is very grateful to Marilyn for her philanthropy and her volunteering. Her memory will live on because of her generosity.

– Linda Johnson, Emeritus GAF Board
