Marilyn Danielson

Marilyn was born and raised in Denver, CO. in a Christian home where she learned the importance of a faith in God and regular church attendance at First Covenant Church. She graduated with a B.S in Nursing from Denver, Univ. Dan and Marilyn got engaged up at the Loveland Ski Area, married the following summer and moved to Chicago, Ill, where he finished seminary.

We served a church in Rockford, Ill., for two and a half years before Dan went into the Army as a Chaplain in April, l965. They moved l8 times in 24 years of military service, and were afforded the opportunity to meet some great people and have wonderful friends all over the world. This experience has helped Marilyn keep her focus on global issues.

God gave them three great sons(one of which died at the age of 17 months)' and He has blessed the Danielson’s with two wonderful daughters-in-law and nine grand-grandchildren.

Marilyn’s favorite book of the Bible is John. When she was young, a Sunday School teacher gave her her own little "Gospel of John".

Marilyn "asked Jesus into her heart" at the age of eight. “I thank God for some faithful Sunday School teachers who prepared the way for me and clearly taught from the scriptures. One such teacher made a scrapbook for each of her students and on the last page mine said: ‘This book is given to you with a prayer, that Christ may dwell in your heart by faith and that you will love Him as your Lord and Savior, and follow Him all the days of your life.’ I thank God for people like her who have helped to shape my life.”

Marilyn is thankful for LHCC where caring people have continued to encourage her Christian walk, and where all in attendance have felt her caring spirit.
