Marilyn Joann Decker, 77, of Sunman, passed away on Monday, June 14, 2021 at Margaret Mary Health in Batesville. On Wednesday, April 12, 1944, she was born in Jamestown, Ohio to the late Everett and Violet (Hall) Bennett.

While Marilyn did not always live in Sunman, on July 17, 2018, it became her home for the rest of her life. She would not have had it any other way. Marilyn served her community as town council president for a year and a half, and she did it well. In addition to her achievements in Sunman, before Marilyn retired she served as Director of Safety and Personnel, Human Resources Manager, and Account Manager for Steel Engineering in California.

Marilyn leaves behind her sisters, Sharron Bennett and Carolyn Charles. She is preceded in death by her husband, James Decker, her parents, and brother Gerald Bennett.

Services will take place at a later date and will be announced through the Sunman page. Burial will take place at Valley Township Cemetery located in Lucasville, Ohio.

Memorials in honor of Marilyn may be given the Sunman Park through the FCN Bank branch in Sunman.
