November 30, 1946 – February 1, 2025

Marilyn Perry, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on February 1st after a courageous battle with lung cancer.

Born on November 30, 1946, Marilyn grew up with a deep love for family, laughter, and the simple joys of life. She carried that love into everything she did, touching the lives of all who knew her with her kindness, wisdom, and grace. Marilyn was born in St. Louis, but eventually followed her dream to move to Florida to be by the sandy beaches and the warmer weather.  There, she was able to explore new places, embrace the welcoming community, and create lasting relationships with those she met before moving back to the midwest.

Marilyn’s greatest joy was her family, always offering unconditional love, wisdom, and support. She was a devoted mother to her two sons, Scott (Elizabeth) Wurth and Eric (Debbie) Wurth, whom she adored with all her heart. Her love extended to her grandchildren (Chase, Gavin, Hayden) and great grandchild (Camden), who brought her endless joy. She was truly blessed to share a bond like no other with her dear sister, Nancy (Ron) Seeker, who was not just family, but her best friend and caretaker in her final days. She also leaves behind two nephews, Matt (Sue) and Mark (Robin), and many dear friends from St. Louis to Florida, who will forever hold her memory close.

A celebration of life will be held on Friday February 28th from 3-5 pm at St. Louis Cremation (320 Jungermann Rd, St Peters, MO), where those who loved her will gather to honor her spirit, share memories, and find comfort in the bond she created among them.

Marilyn’s strength, love, and laughter will never be forgotten. Though our hearts are heavy, we take comfort in knowing that she is now at peace. She will be deeply missed but forever cherished in our hearts.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to LUNGevity, the nation’s largest lung cancer-focused nonprofit, in her honor.
