Marilyn Winona Mail Sandoval, 74, passed onto the spirit world September 18, 2021 at her home. She was born to Gwendolyn Mail Johnson and Gordon R. Mail on November 30, 1946.
Marilyn attended and graduated from poplar High School. She moved to Dallas, TX in the early 1980’s. She moved to Billings where she lived for a while. She then moved home to Poplar to help care for our mother. She worked in the Billings and Poplar area in construction as a flagger for the State and the Tribes for many years. She also worked at the Tribal Express Casino for many years.
She became friends with Gene Loendorf, who always booked her flights to Billings and always made sure she was taken care of on her return from Billings. She had friends young and old, was always helpful to those in need as she was a generous person. She would always give advice when needed. We will miss her dearly. She loved our family dinners and loved her cats very much and would always take in a stray.
