Marilyn Jean Osborn, 81 of Cincinnati passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on March 12, 2023.
Marilyn had a brilliant mind and was well educated. She earned her Bachelor's of Arts in French from Penn State and then went on to receive her Master's in French from the University of Michigan. She once again furthered education, by receiving her Juris Doctorate from the University of Cincinnati.
