Marilyn was born in Chicago, Illinois on April 27, 1940, to Stanley and Stephanie Mack. She moved to Florida in the 1950s where she met and married Joseph Butler in 1959 and the couple settled in Orlando. Marilyn and Joe had four sons (Todd, Mark, Luke and Matt), grandchildren (Patrick, Catie, Rebekah, Rachel, Laramie, Timothy and Lydia) and a great grandchild (Nicholas). Marilyn lived in Winter Garden, Florida and was preceded in death by her husband Joe and her brother Tom. Marilyn was greatly beloved by her family and friends and was a paragon of politeness, grace and patience. She was also a rabid, lifelong Cubs fan who was finally rewarded for her unreasonable and unwavering devotion to the club and lived to revel in their 2016 World Series Championship. Marilyn trusted in the work and merit of her Savior Jesus Christ for her salvation and is with Him now, beholding His face in glory.
Marilyn’s funeral service will be held at Resurrection Catholic Church at 1211 Winter Garden Vineland Rd. Winter Garden, Fl. 34787 on December 27, 2024 at 12:30 pm.
