I was one of Marylyn ‘s ( Mrs. Owens) first grade students back in 1973-74. In my teen years, I  volunteered in her class because she was always such a joy to be around.  She came to my wedding in 1997.  She was always my favorite teacher.

Today we remember our beloved mother, grandmother, grandma great, and "mother superior" to those friends at FCCO as we mark the one year anniversary of Marylyn Owens' passing from earth to Heaven.   We miss you Mom more than words can express but we're continuing to strive to honor  your memory and life's work investing in family and the Church.    I love you more than ever and trust that not even death can separate your love from us your family and friends!

Your son,
Dale

Marylyn was precious to me and my husband.  She sang at our wedding, and she made us all laugh when she was at a party at our house and jumped into our swimming pool with all of her clothes on!

Dear Owens Children,

Roger and I went to see Dr. Lester (dentist) today and he told us of Marylyn’s passing. I am so sorry I had no idea as we would have attended today.  I have loved Mother Superior (she gave herself that name) for years. She is one of the most beautiful, passionate, marvelous people I have ever known. She was an amazing teacher and I truly believe her students were given such a gift when they got her as a teacher. She made the world a much better place with that great laugh and smile of her’s. I’m sure you already know but Marylyn was truly so loved❤️

I always looked forward to seeing Marylyn. We enjoyed our talks and she always had a smile for me.  Enjoy Heaven, your gift of love will always be in my heart 💜

I only met Marylyn once in her home when I went for lunch with Nancy. I have fond memories of her and feel I knew her well from hearing Dale speak about her.  She has left a great legacy in her family. 

I'm looking forward to sharing happy memories with Marylyn's family tomorrow at the 10:30 visitation.

My memories of Marylyn are precious.  She sang at the wedding for me and my wonderful husband, Ed Berriman.  He was her principal at the school where she was teaching.  We had a fun school teachers' pool party at our house.  Marylyn was the star at the party.  She jumped in our pool with all of her clothes on, and everyone had a lot to laugh about.  Also, her voice was so beautiful, we all loved hearing her sing.  Marylyn was a kind and loving friend. She was loved by all who knew her!

I met "Grandma Great" only about 5 years ago through her granddaughter, Kimberly. She was immensely kind and welcomed me into the family saying "I'm so glad you're here" as she grasped my hand. She was genuine, sassy and loved her family very much. We stayed at her home several times over the last few years and I am very glad to have known her.  She is in heaven now and better than she's ever been, seeing Jesus face to face. I know she is whole and we will see her again.

Marilyn & I met at Chapman in an Art for Teachers class. She invited me to her home to work together on some of our art projects. I loved visiting & working together. Each time I drive by that historical home I think of Marilyn & her hospitality.
