Marilyn Delzer
December 16, 1945 - February 13, 2025
Marilyn Delzer, 79, joined our Heavenly Father on February 13, 2025, in Wenatchee, Washington. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.
Marilyn was born December 16, 1945, in Auburn, Washington, to Richard and Elsie Thomason. Marilyn graduated from Eastmont High School in East Wenatchee, Washington, in 1964. She started her education at Wenatchee Valley College and then continued to Washington State University where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech. From 1968 to 1973 Marilyn taught Speech and English at Wenatchee High School.
Marilyn and Stan were married on April 4, 1970, at Faith Lutheran Church in East Wenatchee and were faithfully devoted to each other for 54 years. They had two children, a daughter Laura, and a son Mark.
Marilyn devoted her life to her family and faith. While raising her children, Marilyn worked as the church secretary at Faith Lutheran Church in East Wenatchee for over 25 years. Her roots were at Faith Lutheran Church starting in 1955 until present and she served the church in many ministries. She faithfully served on Altar Guild preparing and maintaining the altar and sanctuary. She poured her heart into the Tabitha Circle ministry which made quilts for Lutheran World Relief. Marilyn was a devoted Women's Bible Study member for over 30 years and faithfully prayed for so many on the Prayer Chain. She often shared uplifting scriptures and poems to aid family and friends to encourage Faith in troubled times.
She enjoyed shopping, sewing, gardening, camping and traveling, reading, cooking and spending time with her family. She loved birds and angels and the color green.

She is survived by her husband Stan Delzer of East Wenatchee, Washington; daughter Laura (Ralph) Keeney of Spokane, Washington; son Mark Delzer of Santa Barbara, California; grandchildren Elli, Kyle, Emory, Max, and Carson; and several nieces and nephews.

To the Delzer family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you! Marilyn was such a generous and kind person. I had the opportunity to get to know her when I was growing up and attended Faith Lutheran. Additionally, my mom was a member there for decades. We always looked forward to seeing and talking with Marilyn! She was such a lovely person.

Our prayers for your peace and comfort.
