Marilyn Ruth Davis, age 84, passed away surrounded by her family on March 5th, 2025. She was born in Howell, MI on May 28th, 1940 to Otto and Lena Bessert. She grew up with 5 siblings. She married Frank Davis on July 1st, 1961. They had 3 children, Brian, Kristin, and Kellie, 3 grandchildren, Michael (Mary), Audriana (Anthony), and Zachary (Stefanie), and 4 great grandchildren, Kaylee, Mikaela, Fortunato, and Roselina.
Marilyn was known for her strong and unwavering faith that she shared with the rest of her family. She was a dedicated member of St. John's Lutheran Church, gladly volunteering her time in the Lord's name. She was also a devoted and loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Walking into her home, you were always welcomed with a warm hug and the smell of a home cooked meal. Prior to retiring, Marilyn was a secretary for the Fowlerville Public Schools. Her caring demeanor made her a favorite amongst students as many would come into the office to visit with her. She will be deeply missed but not forgotten for her nurturing heart, comforting words, and infectious laughter.
Visitation will be held at St John's Lutheran Church (132 S. Benjamin St) in Fowlerville, MI on March 11th, 2025 from 10-12, service at 12 pm. A luncheon will follow service. Flowers can be sent to St. John's Lutheran Church in Fowlerville, or donations can be sent to Elara Caring in her name.
