Marilyn Faye Craise

Marilyn Faye Craise, 80, of Bella Vista, Arkansas sadly departed this life on January 16, 2024. She was born on January 2, 1944 in Little Rock, Arkansas to the late Van Thurman Taylor and Elizabeth Maude Carrigan Szarowicz.

She lived a full life as a wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and loyal friend to many. She had several amazing qualities, but the one most people talked about was her willingness to help others out at all costs. She would give her last dollar away and go without if it would help someone else out.

She loved to read, do crossword puzzles, bowl, dance, watch the game show network for hours each day, and watch the Razorbacks play basketball.

Her laugh was one of a kind and contagious. When you would hear it not only did you know who’s laugh it was, but it would always make you smile no matter if you were in a good mood or not.

When you think of her, celebrate the good memories you have of her. Remember that life is fragile and short and should be lived to the fullest.

She is preceded in death by: her brother, David Eugene Taylor, sisters Betty Lou Price and Geneva Johnson, and grandson, Trevor Craise

Marilyn is survived by: her two sons, Greg Craise and his wife Sheri, Robert Craise and his wife Toni, two granddaughters, Holland and Madison Craise, and great-grandson, Kaysar Craise
