Marilynn lived in her younger years in San Francisco California. She also lived in South San Francisco California until 1975 when she moved with her family to Duchesne and later Roosevelt Utah. Upon the death of her first husband Norm Lefler, she moved to Murray Utah, and then married Reid Boggess where they resided in Sandy Utah. Her last 5 years were spent in Pleasant Grove Utah.
Mom was a wonderful mother who loved her family and all those she knew. And was equally loved by those who knew her.
Music was her passion from all aspect from singing, directing, performing in plays, as a member of the Utah Oratorio choir, barbershop quartets, and many others where she had an opportunity to share her talent. For those who knew her, heard her sing.
Now after almost 40 years after Norm’s passing and 18 years after Reid’s passing, it was time for her to cross the vail to join them. As we are now without her physically, she will always be in our hearts. We will always remember her love of music that she generously shared.
Marilynn was a great example of love to all and a love for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
She will be truly missed.

Marilyn was such a pleasant cheerful person. I loved her.
I love Marilynn like a second mother. She is my mom's sister (by another mother). She is truly an elect lady. I am so grateful for her influence in my life, and the friend she's been to my mother. We will miss her greatly.
