Marilyn Pope Obituary
April 12, 1948 - June 21, 2025
Albany, Georgia - Marilyn Moore Pope, 77, passed away peacefully on June 21, 2025, in Albany, Georgia.
Born on April 12, 1948, in Albany to Dewey Eugene Moore and Mary Frances (Reynolds) Moore, Marilyn was a longtime resident of Herod, Georgia. She graduated from Stewart County High School in Lumpkin as part of the Class of 1966 and earned a certificate in Secretarial Sciences from South Georgia Vocational Technical School in Americus in 1968.
Marilyn began her career with the Columbus Police Department as a secretary in the Detective Division. She later served as an administrative assistant for the regional high-risk pregnancy program with the Georgia Department of Human Resources. She concluded her professional journey with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources in the fisheries division.
A longtime resident of Herod, Georgia, Marilyn was a devoted member of Herod Baptist Church. Her faith was central to her life and shaped her compassionate nature. She enjoyed reading, gardening, walking in parks, and browsing thrift stores. Her love for animals was especially evident in her bond with her dog Misty.
Marilyn is lovingly remembered by her son Preston Wade Pope (Ashley Hudson); grandsons Dawson and Landon; brother Dewey Moore (Nell); sister Linda Stephens (Mike); brother Dr. David Moore (Diana); and many nieces and nephews who cherished her warmth and kindness.
She was preceded in death by her husband Preston Pope; father Dewey Eugene Moore; and mother Mary Frances (Reynolds) Moore.
