Marilyn Meyer

Went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on April 13, 2017 at the age of 66. Marilyn was born November 30, 1950 in Kalamazoo to the late Joseph and Maria (Westrate) Hendriksen. She was united in marriage to John C. Meyer on June 18, 1971. Marilyn lived a life of service and always put others above herself. Her mission in life was for people to come to know and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. She was a longtime member of Calvary Community Church and was very involved with many ministries there. Marilyn obtained her nursing degree with three small children at home. She worked at Alamo Nursing Home for 25 years and ended her career working in Hospice Care. Marilyn had a great sense of humor and lived her life full of joy. She enjoyed camping, quilting, sewing, baking, crafting, and driving her grandchildren around on her golf cart. Most of all, Marilyn cherished her family. In her last 2 years she really enjoyed spending quality time during the winter months with her husband in Florida.
