Marilyn Kay Dimmitt, age 82, of Sulphur, Louisiana passed away peacefully on Thursday July 4, 2019 at M.D. Anderson in Houston, TX surrounded by her devoted family. Marilyn was born August 2, 1936 in Vinton, LA. Kay was an awesome cook, enjoyed being on the water, and was known for her amazing green thumb. Her smile was infectious and she never met a stranger. Kay found her true calling as a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was the glue that held us together and her loving, caring, comical spirit will remain with us forever and guide us going forward. She was preceded in death by her parents, Claiborne John Duhon and Julia Clay Duhon, and her brother, C.J. Duhon, Jr. Those left behind to cherish her memory are her husband of 62 years, James H.

Duhon III of Mary Esther, FL; and numerous other relatives and many friends.
