Marilyn M. Burow

Marilyn M. Burow passed from this life into the arms of her Lord and Savior on Sunday, September 25th, 2022, surrounded by her loving children. Born the middle child of George and Emma Arps, she had four siblings: Herbert, Donald, Larry and Linda with whom she is now reunited in heaven.

She grew up in Hamler, Ohio and graduated from Patrick Henry High School. Marilyn married her beloved, Alan Burow on July 27, 1957, at Immanuel Lutheran Church where she was baptized and confirmed in faith. Alan preceded her in death in April of 2017.

Marilyn worked in clerical and management positions. She was part of the original staff of the Buckeye Wolverine Shop. Gardening and attending her children and grandchildren's concerts and sporting events were her favorite past times. Her smile was infectious and her kind, gentle heart was evident to all. Marilyn was a committed follower of Christ and lived a life serving others at both Trinity Lutheran and Calvary Church in Toledo and Maumee.

Left to cherish her memory are children, Anita (James) Quackenbush, Becky (Chris) Girton, Timothy (Mina) Burow and Beth (Robert) Meinen; grandchildren include, Jennifer, Laura and Rachel, Heath, Brad and Josh, Elizabeth and Alan, Jessica, Kayla and Erika who were the apples of her eye. She also has 13 great-grandchildren and is survived by sisters-in-law, Lois and Mary Arps and many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to express their thanks to the staff and care givers at Otterbein Sunset House where Marilyn resided for the last 7 years.
