Sincerest sympathies to all of Marilyn's family. I was a resident in Aiseiri, Cahir in 1996 and Bushy Park, Ennis some years later. Sr. Eileen and all the councillors, in both centres, used the Minnesota method and both Bob and Marilyn were referred to and quoted on numerous occasions. So indirectly I owe a huge gratitude to them both for my sobriety today. May Marilyn R.I.P.

Marilyn was a truly compassionate person. We were blessed to have her as a trainer. She guided us with such clarity, respect and professionalism. We knew she cared deeply about the work and our wellbeing. She has left an inspiring legacy.

My sincerest condolences to Cormac, Al and all of her family and those who loved her. I only spoke of her this week to a client such was her long lasting influence on what she taught me, and Bob, all those years ago. Marilyn was the best trainer I have ever had- her legacy lives on. She had huge human understanding and compassion for all. She was a true friend when needed and an amazing mentor and example of humanity along side professionalism.
The legacy she has left so many of us she trained lives on and has touched so many lives she will never know.
It is with a sad heart this is written.
Rest well Marilyn and thanks so much.

Marilyn was a beautiful, gracious wife, mother, and teacher who brought the Minnesota Model of Treatment to Ireland and beyond - I being one of her students.She had time for everyone and gave of her best and so we graduated, knowing that we were ready to return to the different treatment Centres confident that we could work with the Minnesota model which brought new life to many people young and old, here and abroad and always aware of the need to keep updated and avail of supervision, What a legacy. We had mass offered here in Saint saviours convent for her with Bishop Willie Walsh as celebrant and he was really touched by the work she had done.

Bob and Marilyn were true mentors and friends to me during my training and development as a counselor and I had the great pleasure of visiting st croix Falls on two occasions.
It was a great joy when Marilyn met Al and had so many happy years with him. Patsy and I had a lovely time with them in st croix Falls in about 2005 or 2006? when Al took Patsy canoeing on the boundary waters near Canada and Marilyn and I went to her relatives in the Mid west. Sweet memories... She was a true lady!
May Marilyn rest in eternal peace. God bless and console her grieving family.

So sorry to hear the sad news of Marilyn's passing, my sincere condolences to you Al, Cormac, and family.

Goodbye, see you soon Marilyn. I wish you a good trip.
With all my love.

We are deeply saddened by the death of Marilyn after her short illness.
We send sincere sympathy to Al her husband, Cormac her beloved son, her sister Sr. Ann McCormack PBVM and brother Jack, the Brisset families and Kruger families and her many great friends in the U.S and Ireland.
Occasionally in life we meet someone exceptional and that person was Marilyn to me for 17 years. In May 1983 we first met at Hazelden Addiction Treatment centre. She and Bob took an extraordinary step in faith to come to Tipperary to help establish the Aiseiri Treatment Centre. She trained many students in Ireland and Europe to become Addiction Counsellors.
Marilyn’s qualities of sincerity, trust and belief in people were her outstanding gifts. She enriched many lives.
In my heart forever. May you rest in peace Marilyn.
