Maralynn Yvonne "Lynne" Rasmussen

Maralynn Yvonne Rasmussen passed away on February 16, 2018 @ 5:20am due to chronic respiratory issues and other numerous medical complications, at the age of 81. She was born on March 10th, 1936 in Chillicothe, Ohio to her parents Arthur Benjamin Dailey & Anna Amanda Ogan-Dailey. Her father worked in the Ohio Valley area as a farmer and her mother a one-room school teacher . . Maralynn was the youngest child of six. She is pre-deceased by her husband Albert Rasmussen, daughter Teree Molina, two brothers ( Bernard and Neale ) and two of her sisters (Dolora and Mildred ). She is survived by her sister Dortha Young, her son and daughter-in-law Richard & Linda Rasmussen, son-in-law Richard Molina, grandchildren ( Christopher Rasmussen, Nicholas Rasmussen, Timothy Rasmussen, Tyler Rasmussen, Robert Molina and Alan Molina ), and numerous nephews and nieces. Maralynn graduated High School in Ohio and went to work her first job with the Mead Corporation (1954) in Chillicothe and later with the same company in Dayton, Ohio. She moved to Florida in May of 1959, seeking warmer weather and beaches and went to work for the Martin Company in Orlando, FL. During this time she met Albert Rasmussen thru mutual friends and they went on to eventually getting married in September of 1963. They had a son (Richard – August 1964) and a daughter (Teree – July 1967). During a downturn in the economy of 1970, Albert and Maralynn moved back to Ohio where she worked for the University of Ohio and the Children’s Hospital. This move was to be short term as Albert was called back to work at the Martin Corporation and the family moved back to Orlando, Florida. From February 1978 thru June 1998, Maralynn worked for the Orange County School Board working as a Teacher’s Aide until she retired after twenty years. In September of 2002, she began volunteer work at the Celebration Hospital near Orlando and worked there until her health issues made it no longer possible. From her early childhood thru out her life, Maralynn was forever challenged with numerous medical issues involving cancer and respiratory infections. These issues complicated her life and ultimately contributed to her decline in health. The death of her husband in November of 2016 further complicated matters for her. She ultimately passed away quietly sleeping at peace while in the hospital, dealing with the most current issues. Maralynn will be missed by all and we look forward to the day to come when we will be able to see her again.
