Ionia Sentinel Standard, 30 Sep 2008

Marilyn Joan Todd (Borske), also known by many as “Mert”, passed away on the
morning of Sunday Sept. 28 at Green Acres Assisted Living facility in Ionia.

She was preceded in death 13 years prior by Robert (Bob), her husband of 47
years.  Marilyn was born in 1925 in Burlington, Iowa and grew up in Manistee. 
She attended college at Central Michigan University and Calvin College and
attended Nursing School at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids.  She was a
practicing Registered Nurse until a few years after starting her family.  She
maintained her nursing registration for many years after that and volunteered
her nursing services locally in Ionia where she and Bob lived after their
marriage in 1948.  She worked as bookkeeper for many years at the family-owned
business of Todd & Ross, Inc., Mobil gas station and fuel oil distributor in
Ionia that was run by Bob.  She was active in the First Presbyterian Church of
Ionia for many years and enjoyed being in the church choir and quilting with
other women of the church.  She volunteered many hours and served on various
committees in her decades as a church member.  She also volunteered many hours
with the Cart and Lobby Guild at the Ionia County Memorial Hospital.

Marilyn is survived by five children, Tom (Barbara) Todd of Ionia, Jim Todd of
Ellijay, Ga., Lee (Teresa) Todd of Maple Valley, Wash., Jay (Shawn) Todd of
Royal Oak and Sally (Tim) Caverley of Rockford, Michigan; nine grandchildren;
one great-grandchild and one sister Jean (Don) Boulanger of Crystal Falls and
their two daughters.

A memorial service will be conducted at 11 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 4, 2008 at First
Presbyterian Church, Ionia.  There will be visitation from 10 a.m. until the
time of the service.  Memorial gifts in lieu of flowers may be made to either
the First Presbyterian Church of Ionia or to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. 
Arrangements are entrusted to the Schrauben-Lehman Funeral Home, Ionia Chapel.
