Marilyn Crum Obituary
To our family and friends, with great sadness I regret to inform you that we have lost our
beloved mother, Marilyn Crum, to a stroke in the hospital this last week. It was a sudden and
unexpected turn of events, as she had been making remarkable progress after her surgery in
March. Marilyn was an incredibly kind and compassionate person, and she taught me that
kindness is the most precious value in life – kindness towards all people and animals.
In honor of mom, we will have a visitation and service on Wednesday, November 5, at 5:30-
6:30pm visitation 6:30 – 7:30pm service at Lucas Funeral Home 518 SW Johnson Ave. Burleson,
TX 76028.
Afterward, she will be taken to New Jersey for a service on Sunday, November 9 at The
Morrison Ethridge Funeral Home in Butler, NJ. A graveside service and burial will be held on
Monday, November 10. The exact times for the New Jersey services are still being finalized.
While we appreciate any flowers or gestures of sympathy, please know that your presence and
support during this difficult time mean the world to us. If you wish to honor Marilyn’s memory,
you can consider donating to a charity of your choice in her honor.
