Marilyn met Andy Schemmel through mutual friends. They married on Jan. 20, 1962. They soon began their family, living briefly in Salem before moving to Silverton, where they raised their five children. Andy and Marilyn celebrated 55 years of marriage together just before her passing. Marilyn is survived by her husband Andy; children Julie (Tim) Gauthier, Tami Schemmel, Rick (Sarah) Schemmel, Michelle (Rodney) Wagner, and Donald Schemmel; and grandchildren Tyler Schemmel, Becky Gauthier, Liz Gauthier, Kate Schemmel, Syd- ney Wagner and Megan Wagner.
