Marilyn DEMMA Obituary

DEMMA (Hixon), Marilyn Louise

Passed away on December 11, 2020, in her residence. Marilyn fought a battle with cancer for almost 3 years. Marilyn will always be remembered for her loving and compassionate ways. She devoted her life to helping others, professionally as well as personally. Marilyn was married for over 50 years to her husband Frank. They enjoyed their time with family but always put a special emphasis on spending quality time together as husband and wife. They often took long vacations in their car to be able to spend more time together. Marilyn and Frank are the parents of Mark (Danielle), Andy and Chris (Brittney). They enjoyed spending time with their 3 grandkids, Miles, Lenny and Cohen. They were the spark in her eyes and heart.

Marilyn is survived by her sister, Anita (Hixon) (Kent) Hager, brother Greg (Kelly) Hixon and her mother, Cyrilla Hixon. She was preceded in death by her father, Howard Hixon, brother Stephen Hixon and special nephew, Casey Hager. Also,

Marilyn is survived by special sisters-in-law and bothers-in-law as well as many special nieces and nephews. Due to COVID 19, the family will not have a visitation or funeral. It is our hopes to celebrate her at a later date. Thanks to all of our family and friends for their love and support. Arrangements by CONROY FUNERAL HOME.

Was sad to see of Marilyn's passing. She was a kind hearted woman. I met her many years ago. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

What a very special blessing Marilyn has been to our Church and to everyone who had the pleasure to know her. As an Angel of Mercy for her Lord she faithfully reached out to further The Kingdom of The Lord wherever her spiritual journey took her. She touched the lives of countless numbers of people who needed to know that they were loved and precious in the sight of The Lord. God blessed Marilyn with rich qualities of love, grace and service which most of us will never quite be able to achieve. We who had the honor of sharing part of Marilyn's life are surely the richer for it. May our Lord be with her precious family as they mourn such a loss. Don and Anna Simones

Marilyn was an inspiration to me when I first came to FCFC and continued to be all the time I worked with her. She was a light to those who had the privilege of knowing her and leaves an awesome legacy.
