Marilyn Florac, Marilyn Florac died peacefully at home on Wednesday, June 9, 2010., She will be greatly missed and her memory will continue as a source of unconditional love and dedication for all of her family., Marilyn was born in Waterloo, Iowa, on September 22, 1929. She earned her RN from Iowa State Teaching College in 1951, and in the same year married the love of her life, Bill., She served as a hospital nurse in Lansing, Michigan, while her husband attended college at Michigan State University. Shortly thereafter, she and her husband moved to Mid-Hudson Valley region in New York, where she patiently applied her talents doctoring scraped knees and guiding the minds of five daughters and one son.

She enjoyed the everyday and found warm pleasure in the sighting of a hummingbird or the warm companionship of her dog Sparky, who always brought a smile to her face., She delighted in her grandchildren and great- grandchildren and continuously restocked her home with children's books, toys, puzzles-anything that might tickle the fancy of "the kids." She was the ultimate grandma earning the nickname of "Grandma M&M" for the constant stock of M&Ms she kept for outstretched hands., Marilyn is survived by her loving husband for 59 years, William A. Florac; her six children, Mary Jo Babcock, Janice Cerchiara, Nancy Letteri, Bill Florac, Laura Pflugfelder, and Stephanie Luciano; 13 grandchildren, five great- grandchildren, and one more great-grandchild soon to arrive., Her mother and father, Beatrice and Russell Stewart; and her two brothers, Dean and William Stewart, preceded her in death., A funeral service will be conducted 10 a.m. Saturday, June 12, 2010, at Ivy Creek United Methodist Church.
