Marilyn Elizabeth Steffens Stahl Hatley, a longtime resident of Guadalupe County, passed away June 4, 2024, at the age of 95. Marilyn was born January 20, 1929, in Weimar, Texas to Theodore Leslie (T.L.) and Woodie Glynn Williams Steffens.

 Marilyn graduated from Seguin High School and Texas Lutheran College. She retired as Purchasing Agent for Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD after 25 years.

 Marilyn is preceded in death by her parents; her second husband of 12 years, Loren Hatley; her son, Glen Stahl; her sister, Helen Wagner and husband John; nephew, John Wagner; her sister, Dorothy White and husband Andy; and first husband of 28 years, Floyd Stahl.

Survivors include her son Gary Stahl; granddaughters, Savannah Gibson and Shelby Stahl; 4 great grandchildren; niece, Lou Ann Jackel, husband Stan and daughter Kimberley Lyons; nephew, Robin Wagner. Extended family Efrain Solis and his family plus many friends.

Marilyn grew up as a farmer’s/teacher’s daughter. This is the reason Marilyn loved being outside so much. Spending time at Padre Island and Canyon Lake brought her much happiness. She was an avid gardener making sure to share her bounty with her family and friends. She loved to cook and was ready to prepare anything at the drop of a hat. In recent years, playing Bunco and cards with friends brought her much joy.

The family wants to thank Megan and Lorri of Angels and Seniors Living and Jennifer of Utopia Hospice for their loving care during her recent illness. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to the charity of one’s choice.
