It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Marilyn Silvers, of Mesick on Thu, Apr 27, 2023 at the age of 85 years, surrounded by family in her home.
Born on Jun 1, 1937 in Dearborn, MI, she was raised by Florence and Frank Maxon. On Jul 20, 1957 she married Albert Gary Silvers, sharing 53 blessed years together, until his passing on Feb 27, 2010. Marilyn’s world revolved around her family as she exhibited great pride in being the “lady in charge”. With great love for being surrounded by family an dclose friends, many memories were made and cherished, especially during the holidays. Marilyn could be a “spitfire” who would often be found singing and dancing around her home, enjoying the outdoors in her garden or insistent on mowing the lawn. Known to be selfless, determined, and quick-witted with the occasional sass, her humble nature will be treasured always. She lived a simple, meaningful life and will forever be in our hearts.
Marilyn is survived by her loving children, Mary Lynn Damon of Mesick, Wanda Kay Silvers of Mesick, Gary Lee (Alice) Silvers of Cadillac, Cathy Dee (Tim) Damon of Mesick, and Michael Ray Silvers of Mesick; grandchildren, Shannon (Danny), Rena, Jennifer (Morgan), Nicholas, Brandie (Dustin), Janie (Seth), Gary Jr (Rachel), Brenna, Brandon (Tia), Chris, and Brittany; great-grandchildren, Bianca, Seth, David, Ciara, Sierra Rose, Dylan, Easton, Levi, Everett, Maxine, and Zane; brothers, Chuck, Ted, and Jack Maxon; and many nieces, nephews, and close friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; her sister, Zelpha; and a grandson Brandon.
Per her wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family gathering will be held at a later date.
The family is being served Hitesman-Holdship Funeral Home.
