Nanny was a faithful servant of god. Family and friends were a top priority in her life and she was a Nanny to many. She was amazed at being an only child and creating such a large family. Nanny was a doer, always willing to help anyone in need. She owned 2 video shops one in Sabine Pass and one in Groves, TX. After many years of request from customers her fresh seafood became a restaurant which she opened in Mauriceville, TX. Her joy was giving joy all the years of her life.
A Private Celebration of Marilyn's life will be on Saturday, May 9, 2020 at Perkins Cemetery in DeQuincy, LA. The family wishes to thank Ken and Sondra Hamilton for their exceptional care and the kind care givers of Heart to Heart Hospice Services in Beaumont, TX. Services entrusted to Jordan and Amanda Mothershed of Hixson-Snider Funeral Home. Words of comfort may be shared with the family at www.hixsonsnider.com.
