Bricker

Marilyn Jean Bricker, 89, of Karns City, went home to be with the Lord early Tuesday morning, July 25, 2023.

She was born on Jan. 14, 1934. She was the daughter of the late Victor C. and Sara O. McGarvey Fleeger. She was raised on the family farm with her nine siblings.

She was a 1953 graduate of Karns City High School. She had been employed first at Magnetics in East Butler and later as a nurse’s aide at First American Home Care and excelled as a private home caregiver.

Marilyn was a Christian and loved the Lord. She lived by the word of God and studied the Bible fervently. She was a selfless and loving person who always had a song in her heart and loved to sing. Marilyn loved her beautiful flower beds and enjoyed time spent with family, friends and her dog, “Teddy.” Her home was warm and welcoming; when she was young she enjoyed cooking, sewing and making her own clothes. She was a Penguins fan and enjoyed watching them with her sister, Shirley, and son, David.
