Marilyn will be sadly missed by her six children, Kathy Edgar, Brenda (Frank) Dyrkis, Ralph (Shirley) Herlick, Brian (Shari) Herlick, Brad Herlick and Randy Herlick. Marilyn was also blessed with 15 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren as well as many nieces and nephews. Her brother Lewis (Tina) Tuttle, sister Delores Crossett and her brother Marvin (Shirley) Tuttle, also survive Marilyn. She was predeceased by Ralph Peter Herlick, her husband of 58 years; by her parents Harold and Kathleen Tuttle and her sister June Cecil. Born and raised in London, Ontario, Marilyn met Ralph at work at McCormack's in London, Ontario. They were married in Niagara Falls on October 6, 1950. In 1957, they moved to Winnipeg and settled in the St. Boniface area where they raised their family. She was dedicated to her family and was a stay at home mom. She had many more children than her own as she also looked after children and grandchildren in her home. In her 40s, she went to work evenings at Newman McLean Law Offices where she worked for 15 years. Marilyn was dedicated to her family and was always eager to celebrate the holidays at her home and always looked forward to the birthdays, weddings and any other family events. Marilyn was an outgoing person who loved life. Her door was always open to everyone and she was always willing to help with a smile on her face. She was a role model to her family. She loved her children and all of her grandchildren.
