Marilyn Louise Trowbridge Pickering, our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, passed away peacefully at her home on September 2, 2014. She was born June 11, 1933, in Los Angeles, California to Harry and Laura Broadhead Trowbridge. She married Warren Pickering on October 11, 1956, in Las Vegas, Nevada and they were later sealed for time and all eternity in the Los Angeles California Temple. They were blessed with three daughters.

Marilyn spent her life devoted to her family. She loved working in her yard and planting flowers, family history work, going on trips with her family, and being a homemaker, wife, mother and grandmother. She loved the gospel and had a simple but strong testimony. She was such a good example and friend to all. She served a mission with her husband in the Arkansas Little Rock Mission from 2002-2004. After returning from their mission, Marilyn and Warren retired to St. George, Utah which she loved. Previously, Marilyn lived in Los Alamitos, California where she raised her family and Pleasant Grove, Utah. She always loved and made many friends where ever she lived.
