Marilyn Guidry Obituary

Guidry, Marilyn
On October 4, 2016, at the age of 86, Marilyn Guidry passed away after a life well lived. She was the eldest of three daughters born to Fred and Pat Griffin in Phoenix, Arizona. She attended North Phoenix High School and later attended Arizona State University and the University of Arizona. In college, she danced ballet, modeled, and was active in her sorority. She married Gesford in 1950 and they proceeded to raise five sons. She loved to read and she was passionate about the arts, loving all things beautiful and unique. She volunteered as a docent at the Phoenix Art Museum and was also a member of Mensa International. She spent her final years in Las Vegas, Nevada. She was active at her Lutheran church and often travelled with friends and family. Marilyn is survived by her five sons Michael, Bradley, Steven, Perry, and Todd, ten grandchildren, and eight great grandchildren. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her.

To the Guidry Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Dear Guidry family ,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Seeing how she loved art and dance. You will appreciate Matthew 6:28-33; take a lesson from the Lilies of the Field how they grow. they do not toil , nor do they spin. but I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. How precious is not only life but when we give from our heart.
