Mari Shilling Obituary
Mari (Kaye) Shilling went home to be with Jesus on February 12th. She was born on November 26th, 1957, to Hazel Lucille Albert and Fred Albert Jr. She attended the University of Central Oklahoma (formerly Central State University), where she majored in accounting and was honored with membership in several academic honor societies.
Following graduation, Mari held positions with Davis & Roundtree and OETA before embracing her most cherished role as a stay-at-home mother after the birth of her only son, Jared. She treasured her summers spent swimming and always looked forward to time in the water. Above all, she loved the Lord and devoted herself to studying His Word.
She was preceded in death by her parents, as well as her brother Sonnie and half-sister Sissie. She is survived by her loving husband, Mark, and her son, Jared. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
