Marilyn Kay Thompson

May 6, 1953 - January 20, 2014

Loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and friend, Marilyn Thompson felt the warm embrace of her Lord and Savior on January 20, 2014. Marilyn is survived by her mother, Laura Siebert of Topeka, Kansas; her sister Mona Gay Williamson of Pace, Florida; her husband Paul Thompson of Tallahassee, Florida; her son Matthew Thompson (and his wife Evie) of Fort Walton Beach, Florida; and grandchildren Laina, Mason and Grant Thompson. Marilyn was born in Fort Leonard Wood (military base) in Missouri and lived for three years in Germany as her father (Robert Whittaker) served in the U.S. Army. She grew up in Topeka, Kansas and Pensacola, Florida, where she met Paul. They were married on June 9, 1972 in Pensacola. Marilyn received her Associate of Arts degree from Tallahassee Community College in 1978 and graduated summa cum laude from Florida State University in 1980 with a degree in nursing. As a registered nurse, Marilyn worked at hospitals in Tallahassee, Florida and Thomasville, Georgia and for several Tallahassee-area physicians. During her time in Tallahassee, Marilyn was an active member of three local churches: First Baptist, North Florida Baptist, and Bradfordville First Baptist. Marilyn loved to cook, take morning walks with Paul, and help family and friends. Marilyn and Paul are most proud that their son Matt followed the Lord and is serving as Associate Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Friends will be received Thursday from 6-8 pm at the Culley's Meadowwood Funeral Home, Riggins Road Chapel. Funeral services and interment will take place privately.
